Giant? Cervelo? Cannondale? Specialized? Maybe one of these is a better choice for someone just beginning and getting their first road bike.. Noooo idea

Brand isnt important dude. Not for the common person.
Size and Fit of the bike is key.......
You have to go to a local bike shop and hop on some bikes. Tell them you are new and dont even know what size you should be on. They will tell you your size. Thats the key to starting to looking for a bike. Get your SIZE.........
From there you can start looking for a bike from anywhere from online to stores.
Let me know some of the specs on the bikes you look at. I know a lot about em and I can tell you if you are getting a good deal on them or not.
