There is no free lunch, you have to trade convenience and time for price. And be prepared to find bikes that are not your size. Buy and sell them to increase your bicycle fund. Found two really good bikes this weekend, one OK bike, and three really good sets of wheels.
Garage sales and word of mouth are both great ways to fidn desired bike or as wrk101 mentioned - to increase bicycle fund. However I would not discount cl and kijiji at this point - riding season for a lot of people are almost over and deals popping up everyday and good deals too.
