Triathlon - Used tri bikes. Where are they?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
As I began my search for another bike I have noticed suggestions from some to look at used bikes. While Craigslist produce a few, scattered results I am curious where else one might find a selection if used tri bikes for sale.

Find your local TRI club, they will help you find the right size and learn what type of parts it should have, someone there may even let you ride there's and may even get you a great deal when they upgrade. the rich guy's are alway's looking at next years models.

Doh. I never thought about the local tri clubs. Thanks!
Last Fall, a co-worker sold me his Cervelo P2K for $400 when he upgraded to a full carbon TT bike.

I've often wonderd this myself.
What about all the bikes the pros use, they have a new bike every season where are the old ones? There has to be hundreds of good 2 and three year old bikes out there, but everyone I ask just shrugs their shoulders.

Ebay, but you're looking at the wrong time of the season, racers don't usually make a change mid-season. Try October-February on Ebay.
Also check out http://forum.slowtwitch.com/ classifieds at the end of the season.

+1000 on slowtwitch. Most of those bikes will be for serious triathletes, but you will see as we near the end of the tri season, a ton of good bikes and good deals.

slowtwitch is it. Period. Know your size though.
