    Inspect the item before paying. Walk away if anything seems dodgy.

    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Bit of a sweeping statement there. Evidence?

    I've bought and sold on Gumtree with no issues.

    Just ensure that the seller seems genuine, check the products and don't let them come to your house.

    If you get any incling it's not right - just walk away.

    My Cannondale came from Gumtree - easy purchase, nothing dodgy. As always though, caveat emptor.
    Cube Reaction GTC Pro 29 for the lumpy stuff
    Cannondale Synapse alloy with 'guards for the winter roads
    Fuji Altamira 2.7 for the summer roads
    Trek 830 Mountain Track frame turned into a gravel bike - for anywhere & everywhere
