Have you got panniers, bikepacking bags or just a backpack with the essentials? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Have you got the latest in carbon engineering or your dads old 10 speed from the 70's? Doesn't matter, you're welcome here.

Where does one buy second hand bicycles ? (jlai.lu)

Long story short I've been wanting to acquire a Trek 920, but it's been out of production for a few years as far as I know, the local equivalent of Craigslist here has no listing.

I'm left wondering where do all the bikes go, is there a website dedicated to reselling bicycles ?

I bought 2 used trek bikes in the pandemic from a bike rental shop.

I use eBay and have got some absolute bargains on second hand bike stuff there!

The bike is out of production, but frame is still stocked, a shop can help you build one up if that's available/of interest to you.

Trek had also launched the Red Barn Refresh project, which sells used bikes that have been refurbished by Trek.

In my area, there's a chain of stores called 'Play It Again Sports' that sells used sports equipment, including bikes. You might have something similar nearby. I've also seen used bikes for sale at some bike shops.

Craigslist and eBay are my go-to sources.

Trek sells old stock and some pre-owned bikes on their website. The searching and sorting functions suck, but I did find a 920 frame set:

Probably depends on where you live. Google "used trek 920 {{My town name}}"
