Buying a second hand gravel bike

Every used gravel bike on Shift is sold directly by its owner - there is no dealer margin, listing is free, and Shift takes no commission.

As a rough guide, prices for used gravel bikes in the UK tend to fall somewhere between £650 and £1,900 depending on age, spec and condition - actual asking prices vary, so compare a few listings.

What to check before you buy

Gravel bikes take more abuse than road bikes, so check the same things - frame cracks, chain wear, brake pads - plus tyre clearance, which is the main reason people upgrade. Confirm the largest tyre the frame will take and whether the wheels are tubeless-ready. Look at the drivetrain for a 1x set-up if that is what you want, check the bottom bracket for creaks, and inspect the fork legs and chainstays for rub marks from mud and tyres that can wear through paint and into carbon.
