I's not just that the bike will be two years old. Few manufacturers honor a warranty for the second owner. If anything breaks on it the new owner has to bear the entire cost which can be a lot if the frame or fork is the failure. Then there is bike fit. You buy a bike from the bike store and they give you the right frame size (most times!). That narrows down the number of people willing to buy the bike because it may be too big or too small. Dream on if you expect a big return on a two year old bike.
