If one lives in or near a metro area it amazing what can be found in some shops as consignment bikes. My B10 will soon be on consignment from the shop I upgrading to a new IA and in that shop there are several barely used bikes at very low prices in comparison to new. There is a Felt AR that has never been used by the owner because he ended up with a significant health issue while the bike was being built up. It is a couple of thousand less than new. I know of several shops in this city that have very nice consignment bikes available where you can put your hands on the bike, look it over good and take it for a spin. I am also choosing to use consignment because I don't want to have to meet with people at various times and I don't want to fool with shipping. Anyone local that is interested in consignment bikes can visit at their convenience and the safety of the bike shop.

My old B10 that will be going for less than $1K (I will be happy to get 600 so I am not sure what the shop owner will put on it for his cut) has SRAM Red and is I great shape. I set some PRs on that bike recently and on Sunday it was cruising so nice I started to think how stupid it was to buy a new bike. IMO - my engine needs far more improvement than the bike I am riding.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I bought the B10 frame years ago on consignment from a fitter/mechanic shop. The owner gave me a very discounted price on building up the frame, discount components and a pro fitting.
