I think Universe cycles in Parramatta do as they have a farily large
selection of 2nd hand bikes there. I would bet that you may be
fairly insulted at they price they would offer as trade-in but
that's only a guess.

ebay.com.au would be good as well, I would be happy to purchase
somethign good and 2nd hand but nothing in my frame size.

You could also advertise here...

I was looking for just the same thing about a year ago when I was
trading my Trek up. I went to Turramurra Cyclery on the Pacific
Highway and talked to them about trading in. They do not specifically
trade in, but if you buy a bike from them (they are a Trek dealer)
they will put your bike for sale on a consignment basis in their
store. They will take a small cut of what you get but it is up to you
what price you put on it.

Just for your info I upgraded to the 2300. A great bike!

Dee Why Cycles on the northern beaches used to do this - not sure if still
do - were nice people to deal with.
