Yeah, because nobody on r.b.m. ever bought a bike off of eBay. Can't tell if you have sarcasm mode toggled on or off, but I'll add a bit in either case. Seems like it's about once a month someone puts a post on this NG saying that they're looking for a bike, describing their budget and intended riding style, and asking for advice as to what to buy. The denizens of the group invariably respond with a flurry of replies, ranging from the helpful to the downright arcane. At least a third of them, though, urge the prospective buyer to test ride, test ride, and test ride. One eloquent poster recently commented that, "you don't choose the bike, the bike chooses you." After all those threads, I suppose it might be that there still r.b.m'ers who have bought bikes through eBay or otherwise online. If there are, though, I'm very surprised.

After all those threads, I suppose it might be that there still r.b.m'ers who have bought bikes through eBay or otherwise online. If there are, though, I'm very surprised. I doubt I'm the only one. For nearly all the posters who ask, buying off Ebay is not their best bet. But, in the right circumstances, it's OK. Consider this: 1. I'm a tall guy. How many 62 centimeter frames am I going to be able to test ride? 2. The bike was being sold by a guy who posts on bike lists (but not this group), although not to sell stuff. He sells stuff from estate sales to make a few bucks, although generally antiques rather than bikes. His feedback was numerous and positive over a reasonably long time. 3. If I got nothing at all out of the transaction, I wasn't out more than I could afford. |
