|
|
Does anyone know of a good internet site that sells used bikes online? I'm specifically looking for a used full-suspension XC bike, between 19 and 21 inches. Something along the lines of a Trek Fuel, Scott Spark or Specialized Stumpjumper. I see a lot of adjoshis riding very expensive bikes, which I am certain the majority never uses to their full potential, and would like to buy a little used older model for a reasonable price.
Cheers for any help. |

www.wildbike.co.kr used to have a good secondhand sales forum but you would need a Korean friend to help you as it's a hassle (but not impossible) for foreigners to sign up.
Otherwise I would suggest posting a message on the facebook group below and some of the members might have some suggestions - or even a bike to sell you.

Thanks for the heads up on wildbike.co.kr. Looks like a pretty good site. I'll have to post the same query on facebook and see what I come up with there.

Yes, I know, but at 6'2'' I don't really fancy riding a frame that's much smaller. I found a Trek Fuel 90 in great condition at a LBS, but unfortunately the frame is only 15.5 inches. I ride an 18.5 inch Trek 8500 now and would like a full suspension bike for slightly more technical rides. |
