Hey,

I'm a newbie to triathlons and have a Giant Rapid 2, which is great getting me to/from work!

But, I'm looking to go for a decent place to buy a second hand racing bike for doing triathlons...maybe somewhere that would even take my bike as a trade in.

Anyone got any suggestions?

I live in Dublin, but can travel to nearby counties for the right place/price!!

Cheers,

Thanks Kenny B!

El Director, that's a nice rothar. I was looking not to spend more than €1k...and I'm also 6'3 and have a long body, so need a L-XL bike!

Cheers for the help.

Is it a sensible choice to think about buying a second hand tri bike, or is it just too risky, for reasons of possiblr damaged to frame, bearing worn etc.
