Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Trek 1200 to 5000

I been thinking about trading my Trek 1200 for a 5000. And I have two questions:

1. Does anybody knows the best way to sell my 1200. I know that there is Ebay I am just curious if you guys have any other suggestion. Do you guys know any LBS that does trade ins?

2. How much difference I would notice comparing the two? I know that the frames are different I would notice the difference there I think what I am asking is how much better the 5000 is and how much my ride would change.

Hope it make sense.

Try selling your bike on the classified forum here or on Craigslist.

You could try craigslist.... (NOT craiglist.... made that mistake one too many times... ) just punch in your city.

Benefits of craigslist include:

No fees for seller (ebay) or buyer
Local so buyers can test ride your bike
Local buyers could also pick up your bike, saving you time and cost for shipping

Hope this helps and good luck! I don't have any advice for the trek 5000 though... I'm all for the Y-Foil!!!!!
