Hi guys, looking for my first racing/ road bike for nipping around town on. My budget is ~£60 so not a huge amount of choice but have seen 2 bikes which look ok. Now i dont know anything about bikes really so i was hoping you guys could tell me which one you think is best!
The first one is a Raleigh Routier. Dont know the year but this is it:

Good condition apparently.. Guy wants £60 for it
The second is a Raleigh Scorpio. Again I dont know the year but it this is it:

this one seems a bit rougher round the edges and will probs need a little tlc although nothing major. Im thinking this one will go for around £50-60
Which do you think is better? Also i'm 6'1''.. im thinking 22-24inches will be ok for me, does this sound about right?
Cheers!
EDIT: Cant get the pics to work for some reason but if you cut and paste into your browser it works
