There's a nice Boardman on Gumtree ;-)
All those mentioned above. Places that hire bikes sell off the old ones every year or so. Beware stolen bikes, particularly on Gumtree and Fleabay. You can often get a reasonable indication from the way the ad is written. If they've just copied standard spec off another website with no mention of any changes, look harder. If the standard spec is listed and something is obviously different, walk away. That Boardman looks genuine at a glance as the guy has listed what has been changed on the bike. If you buy a stolen bike it will always be that, it's possible that it is taken off you and returned to the original owner. Plus buying stolen bikes encourages theft.0 -
Thanks V,
I'm hoping to take a look at the boardman in the flesh and quiz the seller, if he gets back to me that is!
Also considering Calibre Bossnut on cycle-to-work scheme but thought I'd see if there was any good second hand sites to look at before I decide.Bossnut - http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=13069531
