    Which sites would be best for buying a bike, looking for 1000/1100. The cheaper the better.

    Using fleabay at the moment. Gumtree and I dont get along.

    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    If you have a specific bike in mind, the owners forum for that bike is usually a good place to look. Most of the people who frequent such sites have a keen interest in the bike and look after it better because of that. Not always the cheapest route but normally a good call for quality :]

    gumtree is an eBay company. As others have said, biketrader, pistonheads, and the other two (gumtree & fleabay) trade-it and MCN - I used them all when I was bike buying. Got mine on Gumtree.
