This isn't an endorsement, just an observation. Unless and until some site like this takes off, people will be stuck with eBay, Craigslist, and FB Marketplace. (Tom Jordan gave it a good try a few years ago with the now defunct A Great Vintage site, but couldn't make it work.) If something like this is to succeed, it will have to appeal to us, CR, the CABE, the Paceline, MTBR, etc. Pinkbike seems pretty successful, but doesn't seem to cater to the entire used bike hobby.
