Be very careful buying used bikes, a lot are stolen. Ask the seller for a receipt and to meet them at their home address. Maybe see if there is a bike recycling charity near you, safer if you are not familiar with bikes and the wily ways of bike thieves

Size wise, it really depends on the bike, but probably a medium or large, a 54-56cm modern roadbike, or something like 19-21"

How overweight are you?
