Evo-R Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braailegend Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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;) quintonb and Skylark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach. Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that carbon will fail catastrophically, if it is abused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoman Posted October 31, 2013 Share I suppose it depends on the buyer, personally I wouldnt buy a second hand carbon frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rouxtjie Posted October 31, 2013 Share 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. Wayne Potgieter and Beesrib 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
