Maybe start by describing the type of riding you do to narrow down which type of bike may be suitable for you. Do you have bike shops nearby or will you be buying online?

Google tells me that you have two bike shops in Tehran. Go to them and see what they can provide. God Bless and Keep you.

I'm not a professional cyclist, but I've been riding for about 30 minutes every day for years.
I am looking for a durable, light and quality bike.
Something like this:

I'd try the old fashion way. Walk into a store and see what they have. Evaluation of what you need. Test ride. Repeat at another bike store if possible

My advice on having recently purchased a brand new bike:
- Test ride a couple of models
- Inspect every inch of the bike and frame for any imperfections prior to purchase
- Go for quality/carbon, you won't regret it, it will be your pride and joy.
