Default help appreciated

hey guys i am fairly new to cycling, i had an old ricardo in school and that did me for a triathalon but since working i have not done it for 6 yrs
a couple of q's playin on my mind what is a good size for me i am about 5"11
also i have found some bikes that i like 2nd under a $1000, and just wondering which is the better bike. i know that i should see general condition but i just want to know about these general models

cannondale r700-$600
wheeler 6100-$650
giant ocr1-$800

any help would be good i have read reviews and they all seem fairly decent. but i just wanted some people who may have ridden these bikes?
i will be mainly riding to work just to get back into the swing of things then i will probably do a few longer rides.
thanks guys

well that's a bit rough not getting a reply... i think us down unders are a bit slack on the old forum front. hopefully they're all out riding their pushies instead, but they're more likely watching tv.
personally, hurrah for cannondale! you wont buy a lighter bike, even for the money you put into the pretty paintwork.

deano_ (and others wanting to know bicycle size)

check out the wrench science webiste for the correct bike size you need.
http://www.wrenchscience.com/WS1/default.asp

a few measurements to take, but its worth it. You will need assistance with the measurements.

Use this as a starting point and try and ride as many bikes as you can around the figures given to you.

Hope all works out.
