[Closed] 2nd hand road bikes - where to look?

Lots of FB selling groups, there's over 10k of people in just one of the Midlands ones

Pinkbike classifieds has road bikes as well

Otherwise it's buy/sell groups on Facebook

Road and Racing bikes for sale in the UK

Lots of regional groups as well

Cycling Weakly magazine.

Cycle Chat forum.

col,cheers.  I'll pass those on.  He just asked me what FB stood for, so he's not going to pick those up without some help!

globalti, was that a typo?

If he's not wanting to spend masses of money I'd have a look at the decathlon Triban bikes for about -£400 iirc. I've had one as a commuter for a few years now, good quality frame and the gears and crankset although bottom of the range have performed well and lasted a few years of commuting. I've used mine on club runs and had no issues keeping up, iirc one of th cycling mags used one for road racing and said it was fine.

Wanted as on here always get few responses.

Cheers, but he's looking a bit more Fancy Dan than that.  Defy, Domain, £1.5Kish.

thanks akira, will ask a bit more about exactly what he's after.

He’s got 1.5k to spend I second hand?!? That should get him a pretty damned fine bike.

Just in case your mate is looking for a 54cm Scott Addict R3, with blingy Campagnolo Chorus 11 groupset and choice of wheels (Hope Pro4 on Open Pro, or brand new Zondas) - I have just the thing and for a bit less money than that too!!

;o)

Let me know

I think he's a more a 56cm  kind of a guy, but thanks!

SR, agreed, but he's also got an aversion to RRP, and the bikes he's looking at don't tend to come up discounted.

2nd had road bikes must be a good bet, there must be a fair few that get passed on after not much use, never having seen a drop of rain?

That’s the way I buy my road bikes too, nedrapier, so I think your friend has it right. I’ve never been able to extend past 1k though, and although I have done well within that limit, I’m just slightly jealous!

Me too! My road bike is a 31 year old skip find!
