I’m looking to get a drop-bar road bike and wondered where roadies go to sell them other that ebay. road.cc doesn’t have much, neither does bikeradar so I assume I’m missing something. Anyone got any idea where to look?

Not sure but I’m selling a my 56cm Cube if you’re interested.

If you know what ur looking for, ebay can be great..though it pains me to say so.

I purchased a ‘hack’ there, which has turned out to be and outstanding bike, I mean the now serviced wheels actually out-spin my Bonty carbon 45’s on DT Swiss hubs FFS!!! I actually love the old thing to bits…in a retro kind of way 🙂

I don’t have much time atm but I’ll help you if you like.

There’s usually something to be found on Bike Radar. What sort of thing are you looking for?

I was looking mostly at bikes a couple of years old that had been 500-700 when new (so nothing fancy, but not 200 quid of pig iron) that I can use for the odd commute and some general fitness rides when I’m not out on the MTB. I’ve already got a ss commuting hack with risers on but dragging it up hills on fitness rides is becoming a bit of a pain so some gears might be good.

I’m selling my giant scr (carbon forks, 105 drivetrain (ultegra front) bla bla bla – i’ll get the specs up in the next day or two it’ll be around £400

Your best deal by far will be found on your local roady club newsletter or Interwebs.

Then back pages of cycling geekly.

Ebay etc look far more expensive

alexxx – what size, year and where are you?

have a look at Bike Soup – some private ads plus IBD’s selling off trade-ins and old stock.

Gumtree is a good place to look for local bargins. My make picked up a spesh in great condition for £300 I think. Nothing fancy, but great for the price. Watch out in London though, loads of the posts look dodgy!

Classifieds in Cycling Plus usually have a few…

Its a 56cm, pretty sure its a 2009 SCR 1 (its yellow and graphite/silvery) and its in the South of Cumbria.

Gumtree is a good place to look for local bargins stolen gear

FTFY 😉

Old fashioned, non trendy bike shops are good.

The owners tend to know of decent stuff for sale locally.

best place is Bikesoup.co.uk

A new website for buying and selling used as well as new bikes. A lot cheaper than eBay and easier to avoid buying stolen bikes, as it is a lot safer. I think it’s great!!

i noticed that our local triathlon club had quite a few road bikes (not just TT)in its classifieds

PS thats in Sheffield

Have you seen my merida-£150 of bargain- advertised last night- sorry too IT thick to post link! 😳
