Advice for a beginner

Hello there,

I'm a fit 66yo who wants to get back on a bike. I used to ride when I was a teen back in France, steel bikes...

I want to do loops around the park in winter and rides in the countryside in summer.


I'm shopping around for a carbon frame 58cm (I'm 6') under $2K and I've seen a few.

Most are 8 to +10 years old. Some have fancy groupsets.

I see a lot of traders, people who are not the original owners/riders. I'm not sure I like that.



-2013 Giant TCR Advance SL Radobank @ $1500

It has a Campagnolo 10 speed instead of the original 11 speed Shimano Ultegra that came with it.

Blue book says $1200 for what's it worth.



-2013 Cannondale SuperSix Evo Di2 @ 1650
Blue book says $1000

Are Di2 reliable after 10 years? I'd hate to fork $$$$ and have this derailleur fail.



Any particular advice?

Thank you!
