    Any recommendations for bike shops that would be good for buying a 2nd hand road bike? Looking for a Giant Defy 3 or similar and don't mind paying a few quid extra for one from a shop. Dublin/Meath or surrounding areas. Thanks!

    Really very few bike shops do second hand bikes anymore, most people go to adverts, donedeal, gumtree, or our own adverts forum :)

    No way would a reputable bike shop let something like that go for so cheap

    Hollingsworth is a reputable bike shop.

    The Cervelo Soloist is ~10 year old alu bike with (probably) heavy alu rimmed Zipps and a reputation for harsh ride quality.

    I wouldn't call it cheap.

    Could try www.usedbikes.ie they have a trader section that shows all bike shops that do second hand bikes. Handy

    Always found this shop very good myself. Doesn't sell stuff very cheap either and I've rarely seen typical high-end bikes in there (such as would be likely to be robbed).
    I'd like to think that they took it on in good faith.

    Anyone any experience of this crowd?

    I have my own "opinion" on the types of bikes sold (and possible bought) here.
