Advice on flipping bikes
A few questions I have for the seasoned flippers.
Mainly, I'm looking at cheap older steel frame builds.
Do people tend to go for riser bar bikes a lot more than drop bars? Do people care if their road bikes have big tires or not? I certainly care, but no clue what the average guy thinks.
What are the types of things you think people care most about? Indexed shifting a big one? Is it a bad idea to try and sell an 80s steel road frame with a mish mash of slightly more modern parts, simply because it might look "bad" or have less character?
A while back I sold a beautiful purple bridgestone 400 for 200$ within days of listing it. I didn't think it was special other than the looks. I guess looks are something to pay more attention to... hence my ragged 531c Dawes that I got for 80$
