I’m pretty new to cycling and could use some advice.
I found two bikes at a pawn shop and I’m trying to figure out if either one is actually worth it or if I should just walk away.
One is a Wilier Mortirolo (carbon frame) for about $300. It seems decent but the front wheel has a little wobble and it probably needs a tune-up.
The other is a LeMond Alpe d’Huez (steel frame $150), looks pretty clean but it’s a bit bigger. Not 100% sure on sizing but it felt a little longer.
For context, I’m about 5’4”–5’5” and planning to commute around 14 miles a day during the week and eventually get into more serious riding.
If you were in my position, would you grab one of these or keep looking? And if so, which one?

The steel Lemond, and buy the Wilier too, and flip it for $400.
Edit…both these bikes are too big for someone 5’5″.
Neither of these will fit you. Probably going to need a 47-50cm frame at that height
