Maybe get fitted at a bike shop to find out the size you need. Secondhand bikes are a dime a dozen; the greatest fear with carbon fiber bike is whether the bike has been crashed or not. Witness a crash in the TdF last year when a rider hit a central concrete bollard, and the bike broke in two, while launched into the air.
There's something to be said for steel (or Titanium) frames.
Remember too that frame size is only one aspect. Seat position, handlebar width/reach, and stem length are all important, and will most likely need customizing to your size.
My credentials? I raced in the Nationals years ago as a trackie, and trained alot on road bikes and rode fixed gear for early season training in TO.
