thanks for the advice guys - im gonna go to a local shop and see what advice they give me regarding size, and check back on ebay.
Good call, talk to your local bike shop and learn what's good/bad and what suits your needs. hokiesean started a good 'I want to buy a bike' thread, lots of people chimed in with good advice. Don't buy Wal-Mart crap. Should be easy to find a good used bike from craigslist or similar.
