Hmmm... its come to the point where my trust Giant SCR3 is getting alittle old (i earn alittle more) and im thinking its time for a new bike. But the velo side of my triathalon has been fairly weak and i know there are some terribly expensive mistakes to be made with out the right advice.
so here i am, asking for some help with a second bike- i have had a test ride on a brand new Specialized Tarmac Comp (which was lovely), but then thought id check out ebay and there is quite a selection, but is this good idea? Is buying a second hand bike a good idea or is it best to shell out for a new one (bearing in mind it would be £1600 by the time id finished with the extras.
i know that £1600 is within my budget, and thats the figure i need to spend to move it onto the next level but cant help but be tempted by the idea of a glittery bargain.
Any ideas?

If you can buy one from someone you know/trust or from a dealer who will give you a warranty so much the better
