Evo-R Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Me and a mate had an argument today. What has a better resale value in the long run........ carbon or aluminium?? Or is it irrelevant as its all about the groupo and wheels?? your thoughts?
braailegend Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Alu better resale, cheaper initially and people aren't as reluctant to buy. Carbon, expensive initially and people worried about cracks etc.Steel, now that is the question you should be asking;) Skylark and quintonb 2
Peach. Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Anything is good.bikes seem to be an investment lately.Its more expensive to buy 2nd hand than new. I would also go Alu or Steel, Carbon has a limited life.

Go read that again, but this time with your sarcasm glasses on ;-) Caerus and Vetseun 2

Problem is that carbon will fail catastrophically, if it is abused
Mojoman Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I suppose it depends on the buyer, personally I wouldnt buy a second hand carbon frame.
Flippa Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Steel is real............ and Ti is Fli............ I'll leave now......
rouxtjie Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Screw the resale....don't buy a bike to sell it one day, buy a bike to ride now...in anyway, they will all lose value at an exponential rate. Beesrib and Wayne Potgieter 2
