toffkoi Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 does any one know where the best place to buy a trailer for my bike new or second hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 (edited) There are a few on Ebay at the moment, but these days there are enough goons that want to pay more than the going rate that it's hard to get a bargain. I bought the local autotrader/admags etc and had to go and see quite a few before I found a decent one. I visited a few where people seemed to think that any piece of metal balanced above a couple of wheels was automatically worth Edited September 14, 2004 by Bikespace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Stuart Cameron of Autowbars in Bradford is now making bike trailers to order. He's on holiday at the mo, but posts on here regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montesaman Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Dave Cooper makes good ones. I have one which I may be prepared to sell. It's a single bike trailer and I think it cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 There's usually a few trailers on www.adtrader.co.uk, a few bikes on there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterchrismas Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Check out Muddy Stuff they normally have a few trialers. I got mine from Dave Cooper, very good quality at a good price. You might want to think about a two bike trailer cause I know I wish I had a two bike trailer now instead of a single one. Peter PS What is it with those dorks on Ebay, don't they check out the prices before going crazy with the bidding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky g Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 (edited) Have you only one bike to carry?? if so just buy a bike rack...loads cheaper than a bike trailer, zero maintance, easy to store at home, no problems reversing up some single track when you've gone the wrong way I think new there only about Edited September 15, 2004 by Marky G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 If you've only one bike to carry then go the bike rack way for sure. They are way easier to use than a trailer and you're not restricted speed wise. Plus, put the number board on the back seat then if a camera flashes you it won't get your number. If a copper stops about the missing number board just act dumb and say you forgot to fit it and you'll do it straight away officer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 (edited) Good idea How about 2 feet of trailing cable from the electrical socket. Surely any copper would be sympathetic having just lost your light board? Edited September 15, 2004 by Bikespace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
