Does anyone know anywhere to buy QUALITY used bikes?  I'm looking for a Tri bike and I'm probably going to wait until the fall when prices drop but I'd like to see if there are any good used bikes around....

Checked Craig's List and E-Bay alreay.....

Thanks,

Hi, I am interested in maybe picking up a quality used TT bike. Both of these are good models in my mind and the correct size for me. Send me some additional info, price, parts, pics (if you have them), etc. to [email protected].

Thanks,

Bill

I have gotten quite a few messages about these bikes. Here are more specific details on the bikes and some other things I will be selling soon...

2008 Felt B2. 56CM. Less than 100 miles (2 rides total). Stock bike. See www.feltracing.com for specifics on parts. $2700 + shipping if required

2008 Cervelo P2C DA. 56CM. Roughly 500 miles. Upgrades include the following: Bontrager XXX Lite Carbon Integrated Aerobar set up, Bontrager XXX Lite Carbon Brake Levers, Bontrager Race X Lite Stem, Shimano Ultegra Pedals, Cateye Wireless Computer....$2700 including all the extras + shipping. I would consider lowering the price if some of the extras are not wanted.

No crashes, issues, stories, ect. with the bikes. My wife and I are expecting our first child in November and I know I wont be training much in the next year. I dont want all this gear sitting in my house and collecting dust.

Other gear I will be selling:
-2007 Zipp 808 Clinchers (few hundred miles on wheels...excellent condition) with Vittoria Corsa EVO CS Tires (40 miles on tires) and Ultregra 12-25 Cassette (few hundred miles or so on cassette).....$1400 including tires and cassette.....no skewers
-2008 Xterra Vortex 2 full wetsuit ML...used for 1 sprint and 1 olympic race....as new....$200
-2008 Rudy Syton Open Aero Helmet size Large in White....used for 2 sprint and 2 olympic races...as new....$90

I live in Prior Lake and would have no problem showing any of this gear in person. I will be at the race this Saturday in Prior Lake and will also be at the St. Paul race. I would be more than happy to show gear at the races.

Thanks,

Andy

Frankly, your best bet for a quality-brand used Tri bike will probably be from people on this board or asking around at somewhere like Gear West. If they know they'll be able to sell a new tri bike to someone, they might be willing to clue you in on a used one.

The only place i can think of that carries much of an inventory is Sunrise Cyclery, www.sunrise-cyclery.com. However, I think their market is more geared toward bike commuters than triathletes.

Here's a few listed on line:
I've been to the Sibley Bike Depot.  Not gonna find road bike material here.  Mostly old Schwinns and mountain bikes.  Great place to go if you're planning on building up a single or fixed gear bike, and just need a frame.  All volunteer 'employees.' 
A non-profit member-owned cooperative with a store that teaches bike repair and servicing, and recycles old bikes. The co-op runs the Earn-A-Bike program where people can work in their shop, in exchange for a bike. The bike depot also accepts donations of old bikes for recycling or refurbishment.

Sibley Bike Depot
712 University Avenue
Saint Paul, MN 55104

Haven't checked these shops out, but if you stop in, give us a report: 

Strauss Skates and Bicycles

Strauss is a family-owned business founded back to 1887 - that's eighteen-eighty-seven, not nineteen. Beginning as a skate shop, they recently added bikes to their range and carry everything from mountain bikes, racing and commuting models. Used bikes are on sale too.
Strauss Skates and Bicycles
1751 East Cope Avenue
Maplewood, MN 55109 651-770-1344
Sunrise Cyclery sells new and used urban cycles in Uptown Minneapolis.

Sunrise Cyclery
901 West Lake Street
Minneapolis, MN 55408
Telephone 612-824-6114

New and used bicycles in Roseville. The store also sharpens skates in the winter.

The Bicycle Chain
1712 North Lexington Avenue
Roseville, MN 55113
Telephone 651-489-4513

 

I think it might be worth your while to check into the used bike shops in Madison, WI.  The last time I was there, I walked into a used bike shop with easily over 150 used bikes...road, high-end mountain...

Lots of poor college students with nice bikes probably sell them to the shop trying to gather up enough money for the next semester's tuition payment...
