Cycling, Triathlon Or Just Need A Bike - Try The New Bicycle Blue Book

I think I got very lucky with my bike, but many out there looking on Craig's List or Ebay will find some fantastic deals on some truly epic bikes. Then there are those that are, well, I think the phrase is "putting lipstick on a pig". Something being sold as more than what the bike really is.  Look out for terms like "Vintage" or "Classic". For guitars, that's wonderful, for bikes, other than a few exceptions, it's simply old technology.

For a cyclist or triathlete purchasing a bike is a huge deal. A salesman will tell you that your first tri-bike is only that, your first tri bike. There will be another. So, many go to the second hand market to look for a good deal on a bike knowing that the first bike is usually a starter. Enter,The Bicycle Blue Book. For years, internet shoppers were able to find prospective cars on Kelly Blue Book, Edmunds or AutoTrader.com. For us cyclists, now there's one for us. With some bike selling for $5000, $10,000 and depending on your components, upwards of $20,000, you want to make sure you know what you're bidding on or bargaining for. So, if you're in the market for a bike and you think you have your eye on a good deal, check out www.bicyclebluebook.com

Happy (and safe) cycling!
