Hi guys.
Am 31 years old and overweight by 15 kilo's lol cos im a taxi driver. Been looking to buy a bike for few weeks on gumtree in the hope of finding 1 used for about £250-300 which brand new is about 600-700.
But just seen the carrera parva on at halfords for £180 and can bring it down to £162 with my AA discount.

Is this good for a first timer? Will be mostly road riding in the evenings and not tracks or mountains.
It doesnt hsve brake discs and someone told me you have to have brake discs not the ones this has. Now im totally confused. Dont want to go over budget incase it's just a few months hype.
Im 5 foot 4 aswell so what size frame would i need?
