Hey guys, I'm looking to buy my first bike, I would like to use it for long rides on flat surfaces and beginner triathlon training, I don't want to spent a lot for a first bike since It's kind of like a test/learning to ride + I'm a broke student…
I've found 3 bikes I like
Orange one 230 euro, 52cm frame disc brakes (machanics), 1×8 gear, Shimano parts, I've gotten comments that this one is a bit smaller for me I'm 1.77 ( 5.10 ish ) 28" wheels
White one 150 euro, doesn't say the size od the frame, 2×7 gear, kaliper ( idk what that means) brakes, 28" wheels, shimano parts ( i like this one the most, mostly because of the price and it looks faster than the others ) + says it's been serviced recently
Bluish one 230 euro, 60cm frame ( maybe to big I don't know) 1×8, disc ( brakes hidrolic), shimano parts, 28" wheels ( I like this one the least, because of the handle bars, not very sporty)

Honestly, none of these are appropriate.
Orange one is a great bike, but not for triathlon or any road riding where your trying to go fast! It’s also too small for you.
The white one is a terrible bike and is way too much money, it’s a 50 euro bike on a good day!
The blue one again would be a good bike for cruising around the city. It’s quite a nice bike. But wouldn’t be good for training on, and is way too big for you.
Save your money and keep looking.
