Used road bikes are absolutely a buyer's market. There's an age range of bikes, like @ 1977 to 1992, let's say, that's severely undervalued. They are old enough to be out of fashion but not yet collectible. We're talking indexing with seven or six speeds, many great steel frames, bikes that sold for $2500 twenty years ago for $300-$600 now! The best part is that many are out there with light mileage and good care. C-record, Mavic SSC, Dura-Ace 6 and 7, these are the bargain groups. Happy hunting!
