So looking for a used Cyclocross bike. Am I missing any other good place to look other than Pro's Closet or Pinkbike?

I just sold an old Tri bike to Pro's Closet and am now in the market for a used Cyclocross bike. Wasn't sure whether there were any other places to look. Yes, I realize that it's bad timing to look for a bike at the beginning of the season. Also would like to stay US based if possible.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Got two of my last three bikes off eBay. If you live in a large metro area, Craigslist and Facebook Classifieds are also worth a look.

I’ve been having more success buying and selling on Facebook than Craigslist lately. I like Pinkbike, but find Pros Closet overpriced.

Honestly, I would probably just get a new cross bike from Bikesdirect. It is probably cheaper.

I've had luck locally work Facebook marketplace. I picked up a halfway decent cross bike in brand new shape for $450 two weeks ago. Just be patient and you'll find a good deal. It took me about a month of looking at mediocre deals then the bike I bought popped up and I hopped on it immediately.

All, I appreciate all of the suggestions. I'm going to look at Facebook Marketplace first. Also looking at Jenson as well. They have a deal where you can trade up.

Thomas - Bikes direct is a great suggestion!

Appreciate the offer for the Trek but focusing on a Focus, Kona, or Scott right now.

Have had success with ebay, Craigslist and Facebook. If you are tall Facebook has a nice market place - Big Bikes and Beyond.

Why not try all 5 places? See if you can find what you want.
