mack_turtle Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 there's definitely an opportunity there for someone with a bright idea. If I had a bunch of extra money and a way to transport and store these, it would be a great biz opportunity. that's an expense of $125 per bike. how much could I get for each one?

Besides whatever overall business plan is (or is not) in place....this is what I see as the red flag: The bikes in this lot are NOT assembled and they have cosmetic blemishes. They will each need about $45-$125 in parts as some parts are missing or damaged (all needed parts are available online). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they couldn't get half of them going by cannibalizing the other half tells me they all are missing key specialized (lower-case s) components.

Can't even dump the wheels in bulk, unless you can find a LOT of people that need 27.5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it's set...that really stretches the definition of a "short" stem. Effectively a 0mm stem, with, what, a ~200mm out of the frame steerer tube?

Here in two years the budget entry level bikes will be hard for people to give away to get out of there garages🤣 Wondering how long it will take after this Christmas for all the entry level fly fishing gear to hit the used market!
