Unless you know what you're looking for I'd always recommend buying new for a first bike. Second hand can be great value but with new you won't have to worry about getting the right size, wether its been sold quickly after some hefty crash damage to the frame, or what to do when a component snaps in half. These are pretty extreme examples but the comfort of a good fitting bike and the peace of mind that you can just whizz it back to the guys in the shop for a fix up can often make the difference between enjoying your cycling and sticking with it or shoving it in the back of the garage. You'll have to weighip the pros and cons and see what's best for you.
