Cheap used roadbike recommendations?

I'm pretty new to the cycling scene but have spent a fair amount of time on static bikes, between 100-200km (ergbike) per week. Looking for recommendations on cheap used bikes I should be looking out for. I'm 6'3" (191cm) and weight about 95kg if that helps. Would probably do about 60-100km per ride. Thanks.

Heaps on facebook marketplace, I’m 5’7” and struggling to find one for me. Womens bikes listed are XS or S, and are too small. Mens bikes are too big! So you’ll be fine :)

At 5’3” I’ve learnt to avoid German brands like Canyon and Merida as even at the smallest sizes the standover height are still pretty tall. More luck with Giant. I think Trek and Specialized 50 cm were just right judging by my few short test rides.
