Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "cheap" bike, and what about it doesn't suit you now?

IMO, the best place to start is to identify exactly why you are looking for a new bike, and use that criteria to guide you

thanks. I just want a bike quick because it's going to get cold soon well surprisingly it was 80 a few days which is crazy for November in Ohio. I know I shouldn't rush getting a bike though.
As one with a beer belly, I'd highly suggest you try the bikes out, and ensure the fit works with your belly. There is no way I can get myself into the good aero pose I'd need for many sizing systems.

Also, unless you foresee a lot of riding in the winter, I wouldn't be in a massive rush to buy now just to get a couple weeks on it. I know most of the LBS near me have sales in the springtime trying to clear out old stock.
