So I've (sort of) been green lighted to get me some gears (woo!). I would like a decent ish road bike to take to the Australian flats where they have an awesome stretch called Beach Road that can go on for miles and miles (kilometers). So I'm looking for advice on what to get to fit a woman with long legs and short body and what groupset for my tiny hands so I can reach the levers.
I'd like some really nice alu or semi decent carbon, not too tight as I'd like to go far, but not too relaxed as I'd like to do some nippy stuff too.
Secondly, does anyone know of any decent websites / forums to find second hand womens bikes?
Lastly, Julia, are you ready to sell me your Pinarello? ;)

I <3 bikes.
PPS, sorry about the avatar, it's an in-joke.
