The bike buying season has started in some of the country already, no time to waste. Spend an hour reading reviews for your frame. Paste a link to the most favorable of them in the text of your ad. Post an image of the bike geometry from Colnago's site. Take nice, not crappy photos and post them in the ad, at least three photos from different angles.Spend an hour reading reviews for your groupset. Paste a link to the most favorable of them in the text of your ad.

Paste a link to the most favorable of them in the text of your ad. Take nice, not crappy photos and post them in the ad, at least three photos from different angles.Other than this, you don't need help, you need to get off your ass and do the heavy lifting yourself.

Square Wheels Posted March 4, 2015 Share #10 Posted March 4, 2015 I offered to buy it. I think my original offer was $100, but now that it's been hanging around for so long, and someone else has rejected it, my offer is down to $75. That deal is off the table after 4pm EST today.

Destination Posted March 4, 2015 Share #13 Posted March 4, 2015 Petite, you're in a large metropolitan area with a strong cycling presence and you're at the easiest time of the year to sell a bike. Just post an ad and a few pictures on Craigslist. You should have it sold quite quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBob Posted March 4, 2015 Share #14 Posted March 4, 2015 I'll up SW and take it off your hands for $80 Hey, if we're going to bid on it I'll bump it up to $125.

petitepedal ★ Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share #31 Posted March 4, 2015 Keep it up guys...RG.. I am tempted..that is more or less what the guy who was gonna sell it for me was gonna get a sweet deal on the wheels...Remember I got this thing in October...We have lousy light so taking decent pics has been a problem and I was sick constantly November, December and January...It was all I could do to get something posted at Thanksgiving time. I'd love to get $4,500 or $5,000 out of the deal but I don't think the Bass will cut it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
