First stretch of nice weather in the Northeast is usually the best time to sell road/gravel bikes. It gets people’s minds thinking about enjoying the outdoors and bikes are a great way to do so. I have found before Christmas and tax refund season are other times of year that can yield decent results.

As has been stated before the market is awful for most used bikes. I have done plenty of horse trading with various different things. Bikes if picked up at a reasonable price typically used to keep more value. Sometimes I get surprised by a frameset or bike exceeding my perceived value of it and lately I have been shocked at how low things are actually selling for. Trying to sell a high end bike that is lightly used will likely sit for a very long time if priced over 25-35% of its original cost.
