Buying & Selling Used Bikes and Parts

Winter still has a firm grip on Southern Ontario but rest assured that we are winding down to the last few weeks. If you’re like me you’re spending more than enough time in the garage looking longingly at your summer recreational equipment that has been in hibernation for much too long. That of course includes your cycling equipment.

What better time to take a look at your gear and do a bit of preseason maintenance. Remember that slow leak you decided to fix in the spring, or the low gear that slips out of the sprocket on steep climbs; now is the time to get your cycling fix by carefully going over your bike part by part so it’s ready to go as soon as the snow leaves.

Perhaps you’ve found some damaged parts or you have a twisted frame from that last fateful fall ride. Whether your buying or selling there is a ready market for used bike parts and you can often generate a lot more cash by selling parts than by selling, or trading in your old bike.

I stumbled across a great article that discusses this topic in detail and thought the best way to get you the information you need is to share this link with you http://tinyurl.com/d3o7uf

The article talks about the pros and cons of buying and selling parts online. You’ll learn what to watch for and where to look.

Take heart; it won’t be long now and you want to be sure your bike is prepped and ready to go when the weather breaks in Southern Ontario.
