Selling a mountain bike in Kanpur
Kanpur is a long-established industrial city and the centre of India’s leather trade. Tools, machinery and leather goods have a real local market, and the industrial base means workshop equipment appears regularly.
The city is congested and the industrial areas are separate from the residential ones, so it is worth establishing which you are heading for. Driving is the normal way to collect anything substantial.
On leather goods, check the stitching and the flex points rather than the surface. Leather that has dried out cracks at the folds first, and polish hides a great deal.
Kanpur, in Uttar Pradesh, has around 2.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Lucknow, Ghaziabad and Agra are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Put in the description
- Frame size and the rider height it suits
- Wheel size, and hardtail or full suspension
Size, wheel size and suspension type: “Trek Marlin 7, Large, 29er Hardtail”. Wheel size — 26, 27.5 or 29 inch — is a genuine filter and often left out. Say whether it is hardtail or full suspension in the title, since they are different bikes for different buyers.
