Anyone who rides or knows of groups for selling other than fb?

I have a few high spec bikes i've invested in through my bike touring company and looking to sell to actual riders / enthusiasts, i'm so tired of fb marketplace scams and idiots looking for silly prices.

Aside from the usual NE riding groups i was wondering if anyone has any insight into decent reputable places to sell???

For anyone interested.... Bikes are Van Nicholas - Custom Titanium frames with carbon forks & Carbon Mavic Wheels and Shimano Di2 Shifters.

Thanks all - any help much appreciated! :)

When you say "custom" do you mean the frames and wheels were custom made for the riders specific needs ? The wheels for example look like standard Mavic Ksyriums, not handbuilt custom wheels.

I always find ebay fine for selling bikes, but before I do, if I were you I'd sort that stem out as it hurts my eyes and probably get some better pictures and descriptions. For example Di2 is the name of the electronic product range from Shimano, is it Ultegra Di2, Dura Ace Di2 ? What's the rest of the groupset for example ?
 
yeah i've got all the spec for anyone interested ..... detailed sizes/dimensions/thorough spec.. i'm just sick of scammers! It's a custom van nicholas frame - the wheels are Mavic Ksyrium yep!

and yeah i'm gonna sort the stem.. :censored: Literally just built it from shipping and that's the final job!

So the custom bit is not really that relevant, as it was made for someone else other than the person you're selling to.

Be aware that genuine buyers want to feel like they're buying from someone genuine, and so the more accurate details you can provide the better, as there's lots of stolen bikes on these sites where the details are sketchy / missing

Well it's a 'Van Nicholas Custom' frame so it is relevant.. it was designed and built for the company who ordered them (the company i work for) in a large batch - to be lighter and less chunky than their off the shelf bikes. The usual frames (Zephyr, Chinook, Yukon etc etc Don't apply to this frame as it's a special one off)....

I wasn't advertising on here hence i didn't post the full detailed spec. Of course i will add all relevant details on any actual listing!

Just looking for advice on marketplaces other than fb since i've put the advert up an hour ago i've already had 3 scammers messaging me which is a bit ridiculous!

But thanks for the advice (y)
