As MRT2 states, I wouldn't restrict myself by just looking at 1-2 year old bikes. In the used market there are always gems to find. There are plenty of hybrid/fitness bikes that were bought, ridden once or a handful of times and then put away. Years later the owners realize they're never going to get into bicycling and decide to sell their bike. You just have to find the right person who understands that their $700 Hybrid isn't worth $500 8 years later because it was never ridden that much. Here in the Los Angeles market there are always a ton of well-kept hybrids up on C/L all the time. Take your time, it's easy recognize when a bike hasn't been ridden or abused.
