Where are all the bikes for sale
I've googled, looked on aus.bicycle, ebay, newspapers, tried the LBS...
second hand road bikes for sale seem to be thin on the ground. Where are they? |

Maybe shift your tack a little Robbo and put a wanted to buy ad somewhere local and prominent. You would be amazed at what people have sitting around unused but don't think about selling it...until they see an ad of someone wanting to buy. I have had great success with this method buying equipment in another line of work. Halcyon |

I've bought two bikes from eBay in the last fortnight. You must be either looking for something very specific, or not willing to pay too much.... Our local lifeline sells serviceable bikes for $15, the recycling shop at the town dump charges $6. (and yes I've bought "components" from both, when you can walk out with a set of 700C Araya rims with a new new 7sp cassette on one of them for less than $5 why wouldn't you :-) ) -- |

The forums on farkin.net, fullgas.com.au and ftf.com.au all have secondhand bikes crop up quite regulaly. Farkin is the biggest, and has a trading system too. Otherwise there is always eBay, but you'll generally get a better deal on the various forums. I've bought two bikes secondhand, one from FGP (2002 Lightspeed Capella Roady with Ultegra bits for $1400) and a Giant XTC singlespeed with low spec kit that was going to be listed on ebay but I got it first for $600. Avoid ebay fees and all the money you spend is going to another cyclist :-). -- SomeGuy |
