In my opinion you should get a used steel frame road bike in good condition that's reasonably sized for you, and then take it to a bike shop to get it tuned up and to get a bike fit done. Once you have a season or two of riding under your belt then you could consider something newer and fancier and lighter.
The same rules apply about over training, ease into it, it will take time for your joints/ligaments/butt to adjust and there is no substitute for time in the saddle.
