The best place to sell a Road Bikes

behindthelenscyclist

Hi,

Iam wanting to sell my road bike as it seems to be a little too long for me but not too sure where the best place is. I don't want to go through ebay and the bike new is £2299 so not too sure where people see their bikes.

any help would be appreciated

Cheers, Paul

If the bike is new and you bought from a shop, have a word with the shop to see if they will exchange frame size.
Otherwise, there is always the classified section of this forum.

The whole issue with selling, unused almost new bikes is the loss of warranty for the next buyer. If you are after anything over 75-80% of the new price then the buyer will be thinking that its not worth the risk.

Of course some people don't think about this.

I think you have less risk of being d**** about selling here in classified. But IME you'll get a better price on ebay.

Try the classifieds on here or Gumtree.

I suppose you have to be realistic in what you want for the bike, is the RRP £2299 or is that the cheapest price you can get it for online? Big difference between the two, especially at this time of year if it is a 2015 model. Out of curiosity what bike is it?
