The advice i'd give you, which i've given to a few other people in MCR is to go to the Velodrome and see what is being sold on the notice board there, you'll be buying a bike that has rarely, if ever been used off the track, and will be at a much better price than you'll get on ebay. With a lot of juniors racing you''l find bike or frames they've out grown for sale as you're after something small.
One thing you'll want to check tho' is whether the wheels are for Tubs or Clincher tyres, you'll want clinchers for ease of use, pucture resistance & durabilty if you're skidding....
Just pop up there and ask where the notice board is... I can happily give you this advice cos' at your height you're not gonna be buying anything i want...!!! Good luck finding a ride....
