Which of these 2 frames ?

[Banjo]

Best of luck Arnuld .Being brutally honest those hero bikes dont look good to me at all but its difficult to assess the quality from a photograph.Whatever you buy try to ride it first if possible or at very least sit on it.

If your concerned about your weight this Health Service Tool may be helpfull. You would be slightly underweight according to the tool but if you start regular cycling you will put on muscle quite quickly so I wouldnt worry.http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Healthyweightcalculator.aspx?r=1&rtitle=Interactive+tools+-+BMI+tool

79cm leg equates to 31 inches so at 5 ft 7 inch height you would want a 17 to 19 inch frame on a hybrid bike according to this chart.

By coincidence my inside leg is also 31 and height 5 ft 9 .My hybrid bike is a 20 inch frame,my previous bike was an 18 and both are/were ok for me.

Cheers Banjo

How easy is it to buy bikes from, say, Ebay in the UK and have them transported over to you?

Impossible as per financial status of mine

Thanks Banjo, in a country where both dealers and buyers don't even know what is the meaning of frame size is, I learned something good . I will hang on this forum forever I guess.

Far be it for me to hijack your thread or even pass comment but for the love of god - why those types of bikes.

There are a million and one better bikes out there. I'd walk away from all of them. I feel ill.

Really, can you show some of your good and basic bikes in India ?

Don't talk about these two Indian dealers, they are hell expansive, will take me at least 1-2 years to save the money to buy a bike from them:
