Peak Cheapness?

[highlandsflyer]

Have used bikes hit an all time low?

Right now, with winter pricing, it seems buttons is the cost of middling kit. Will that change? Have bikes gone the way of most tech?

Seems if it is not 'gravel', it just doesn't fit the 'needs' of the market.

Time to grab that quiver full of bikes you always fancied?

Nope, you'll know when it's rock bottom because I'll sell something. You can tell when it's at a high to buy watching if I'm buying.

There's still a few more dregs at the bottom before parts become easier to chuck than tomorrow sell.

The bike industry has had a major transitioning with new tech in the last 6 years or so. Discs have become the norm on all bikes that didn't normally have discs brakes. People seem to have upgraded en-mass, got new bikes, post-covid boom, bike 2work schemes, emptying sheds to generate money in the cost of living crisis etc & now the used market is flooded. Good for buyers but hard work if you need to sell.

Value is driven by scarcity and/or desirability. 99% of used bikes have neither.

Lower prices to come.
