Even though my shop has been closed for the last two years, every other customer who walks into Robert Hamlin Bicycles asks about used bikes. I tell them that the city would require me to have a pawn shop business license in order to sell and buy used bicycles. I tell them I don't want to own a pawn shop, that I'm Robert Hamlin Bicycles now, not Recycled Bicycles, as I point to all the shiny new frames hanging on the wall.
Here is my solution, a list of used bicycles my customers are trying to sell. I'll try to include a picture, a description for each bicycle, and give an estimated value based on my experience. Folks can list for free, just come see me, call me, or send me an email. I would like a small commission after the sale, all based on the honor system. The bottom line is this, I want to help people buy and sell used bicycles, but I'm not going to hold the bicycles or the money this time around:
Litespeed Blue Ridge titanium touring/cx frame, hand built and signed by David Lynskey himself, 52cm seat tube, 52cm top tube, with Kineses aluminum fork, headset, post, rack, and Deore XT canti brakes. As a complete Ultegra bike it sold new for $2300 back in the day (late 90s?). A new ti frame like this from Lynskey would cost you more than $2300 today, just for the frame. Call John at 435-750-5889.
Fuji Nevada 4.0, 13 inch, 2009, like new, hardly ridden, a demo bike really, retailed for nearly $500, now only $250. Call Dr. John, 435-770-6313.
Trek 850, 13 inch, really old, needs a go over, $100. Call Dr. John, 435-770-6313.
