I've browsed Craigslist in UK too. Here in the USA, Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist are most active for bicycles with free listings. There are others getting lots of adverts like OfferUp or LetItGo but when I've searched those for bicycle, nothing much comes up. No momentum there. I'd...

One of my wish list bikes but it's just too tall for me. Shipping a USA made bike to the USA is like shipping coals to NewCastle. I saw one at Herrods in London for over $3,000 new, about double what they retailed for in the USA. I've browsed any number of general sales sites in the UK, I'd...

Hi all, I worked in a bike shop starting in 1972 and moved on to my career job in 1984. 12 fun years of riding, racing, going to college. The bike shop sold over 32 brands of bikes including Cannondale when they first started making bikes. Few know now that Cannondale was in business for many...
