1 eBay
Most people’s first call. Lots of choice, and a good place to compare prices. Look beyond UK shores, too. Europe is brimming with old project bikes, so check the local eBay pages – if you can find something cheap enough it might well be worth the hassle of getting it back here. Poorly positioned ads can often be missed by many potential buyers, and turn into a bargain for you.
2 Gumtree
Less popular than eBay, but all the better for it because there’s more chance of picking up a steal. Prices are set, rather than reached through bids, so it’s easier to work out what a seller may take for a bike/project. The worst they can say to a cheeky bid is ‘no’.
