Beginners bike wanted- West Mids area

Posts: 9
Hi,
Decided I want to try a few duathlons this year whilst taking swimming lessons with a view to moving up to tri next year. The biggest problem I am coming up against at the moment is finding a reasonably priced bike to start off with. I've got my eye on ebay but looking for other options. Would rather buy something better quality and used rather than a cheap new bike from halfords.
I am 5ft 7in female and so far have been looking at womens bikes (Trek 1000 WSD as an example). But thought it would be worth posting to see if anyone had anything gathering dust in a shed that would be suitable for me. I'm guessing 51-54cm frame in good condition that will last me a year before I decide I need one of these red carbon jobs that you all love so much!
Budget £200, can collect West Mids area.

If you've got a bike for sale i'd try posting on here though as there are a lot of newbies on the look out!
