I am trying to decide what carbon bike to purchase. I am looking to purchase a used bike off ebay and am considering a Trek 5200, 5500, 5900, Aegis Aro Svelte, or Giant TCR Composite. I would like to read the opinions of others and from anyone riding a full carbon bike frame.

Used? The Giant is too new to get a good deal, unless you want a Cadex with will fall apart. Treks sell for almost new, unless you want an old one with a quill stem... There are a bunch of good deals on Aegis right now, but I think most are for the 650 wheels. Looks are great- I ride one myself.

Why used? You can get a Look 361 or Trek 5200 for just over $2000 new and you don't need to worry about shipping, getting scammed, etc...
