At this point in time, worrying about the resale value of a new bike is wasted energy. Unless you are spending big money on something that has a limited number available, and there are a lot of people lining up for it, the value is going drop precipitously. However, that is coming from a person that buys a bike with long term intentions. Since 1979 I have purchased 8 bikes and I still have 4 of them. The other 4 were given to good friends or someone I knew in need of a bike but no funds to purchase one. I only regret giving away a 1978 Miyata road bike that I gave to a co-worker for his way to get to work. He sold the bike 2 weeks later for $50. He used the $50 dollars as trade money for a crack *****. AAAAARRGH!
