I am considering buying a used road bike mainly because of weight - I have no choice but to hang it in my garage.
I have always owned a low end bike, and consider myself a bike illiterate.

You are right, fitting should be a priority. I was at a bike store close to my office not too long ago but since it is their busy season, it is very difficult to get anybody to spend a lot of time with you. Perhaps I should try again during office hour para hindi sila masyadong busy.
I was looking at a used mountain bike, the owner is claiming that he rode it only about 10 times around the river valley and lent it to one of his staff who participated in a bike ride, then stored it for a few years. He said the bike is in excellent shape, he is 5'9" I am 5'10 and we have similar in seam.
I will definitely gather more info... I have a bike (yung nakasabit) to get me by
The Magic X pedal is adapted to the human's morphology (thigh, leg, foot). A standard pedal does not take into account the thickness: of the foot, shoe, cleat or pedal in regard to its axle. To take into account all these parameters, the pressure area of the Vista pedal was lowered by the value of Y. The axle of the pedal is merged with the axle of the big toe for an optimum return. The pressure point (axle of the big toe) was increased by the value of X so that it is in advance (vertical crank) in regard to the axle of the crankset. Removal of the high and low break-even point. On a horizontal position, the front crank length has been increased by the value of X: Optimization of the active phase during pedaling. On a horizontal position, the rear crank length has been decreased by the value of X: Reduced time of return.
The lowered pedal platform allows for a drop of 10-15mm of seat height (depending on your original pedals/cleats). Lowered center of gravity, lower position overall to the wind, and large surface area to reduce or eliminate hot spots, that's the Vista advantage!
