I just got my first bike about a month ago. I kept my eye out there for new and used, until I found just want I wanted, at the price I was willing to pay, at the time I was able to afford it. And, yes, I got a used bike in practically new condition. However, since I got it from another private party, I did not have to pay any additional dealer fees, which can add up quickly. Before I purchased, I must have been on cycletrader, craigslist, and e-bay almost everyday, reviewing my saved searches. Lots of new bikes on Cycletrader, and great used ones on craigslist and e-bay. Just think you should look at all your options.
