Subject: Looking for advice on selling a road bike quickly
Hi -- I am new to this site and don't know if its considered OK to post when looking for advice, but I just found out I need a 54" frame and I have a 52" frame 2007 Specialized Allez women's geometry road bike. I need to sell it before buying a new bike, and I need to do so in a hurry because I am signed up for Cycle Oregon In Sept and need time to get used to the new bike I'll have to purchase. The bike is in super good condition! Any advice on where/how to sell it quickly outside of Craigslist? You can email me your advice at lindakaye06@gmail.com. Thanks!

Bec has retired and is riding every day anywhere from 20 to 40 miles Monday through Friday. Anyone interested in joining her give send an email or call at 503-252-6680. Rides are moderately paced at anywhere from 10 to 14 mph depending on the weather and the energy level. These are not high paced training rides but rides for the pure joy of riding.
