Anyone know of a good place to find used bikes in the Orange County/L.A. area? I've been checking craigslist.com and cycletrader.com regularly, but I was just wondering if there are any other websites out there. I want to spend 3000 or less (already have helmet, jacket, boots and gloves).

I don't think so. Maybe socalriders.com but that's south Carolina, not sure where LA is in comparison.
Classifieds in the newspaper. Americanclassifieds.com might work.
Uhm...you can pick up a hard copy at like supermarkets and stuff.
What else...dealerships will sometimes sell used bikes (one near me does) but not often.

You don't know how good it is to be in such a large area with so many bikes for sale. Craigslist should be all you need, but word of mouth can lead you to great bargains, as well.

I was trying to find a bike for a friend last year and it seemed to me that Craigslist and Cycle Trader were the best bets for finding something in your local area.
I found dozens of "bikes for sale" websites, but most of them were a waste of time. If you want to buy a bike, you've got to go where the sellers go, and that's the two sites above.
