Spotted a bargain online? Want a second opinion on a second-hand component? Try asking the BikeRadar community for their views – plenty of riders may well have used that component for several years and have strong feelings about it.

One such BikeRadar member is doing just that with some carbon forks spotted on eBay. Are they a bargain? Are there any pitfalls to be aware if buying them?

We're discussing whether it's a good idea to purchase them or not in our community forum thread here.
