The only one i would touch out of all them is number 1. The Boardman.
The Seller gets good feedback too.

you need to consider sizing - what height are you? the bike could be the wrong size.

the third bike seems to be sold.

6 foot. So what size bike should i be looking for?

i think that boardman would be too small for you. boardman don't seem to list sizes in inches, but the seller claims it's a 20inch frame.

based on this: https://www.halfords.com/wcsstore/libraries/document/road_bike_size_guide.pdf (halfords have the distribution deal for boardman bikes)
a 6 foot person should be looking for an XL frame in any frame geometry, and at a guess, the frame on that bike is a small or medium.

This seems o.k and the right size..are they a better or worse brand/quality than boardman?

Probably on a par with the Boardman. At 6ft your probably best sticking with a 56cm frame which would generally be M/L rather than L/XL. I'd say that Sensa bike might be too big for you and you'll be fairly stretched out on it.

I'm about that height,and my touring bike has a 58cm frame, which is fine. I'm guessing 56cm would be ok too.
