I bought a second hand Bike for the first time | Cycling Talk 101
I bought my first second hand bike recently, a Cannondale CAAD10. I have always been in favor of buying new whenever possible (which it wasn't this time). What is your experience with second hand cycling products?

How did your old bike get stolen?
I usually build my bikes up myself, although my newest bike I bought new, mostly because the secondhand market for folding bikes tends to be a bit overpriced.
I have also noticed that bigger bikes tend to be more stable at speed, they usually have a longer wheelbase, and more relaxed geometry.
Your Cannondale should be quite stiff near the headtube and bottom bracket, this generally makes them feel more responsive, compared to most other bikes I have ridden.
