QUOTE(MegaCanonF @ Jan 4 2023, 08:10 AM) hi, is the market now easier to sell frame only or sell the whole bike? It depends. What frameset are you having? What components (groupset, wheelset, etc) do you have on your bike? For example; This --> seller in BBS gives an option to choose either the whole bike (MYR31K) or frameset alone (MYR20K).

Hi guys need opinions on this 2 bikes, cant decide between rim brakes or discs Ultegra groupset with carbon wheels, 7.9kg RM6800   105 groupset, alloy wheels, 8.9kg rm5900 (if i were to get this i'll definitely upgrade to carbon wheels in future)   *current bike is a Sora with alloy rim brakes. Mostly solo ride on flat roads past experience with disc brakes were Tektro, and they sound like crazy when braking (sent to bike mechanics and cant solve), will shimano have the same issues? Thanks all!

Thanks all!  if solo on flat roads you'll be fine with rim brakes. if you always do climbs and descent, then disc is consider compulsory already. tell you what going down fraser hill with rim brakes is an experience I won't ever want to go thru, ever again

QUOTE(MegaCanonF @ Jan 4 2023, 09:29 AM) is BBS site ok? i advertised in carousell / fb seems quite slow Yes, BBS is OK site besides the usual FB bicycle sites. But nowadays as we're in the so-called endemic phase where borders are opened, secondhand bicycle sales are a bit slow unlike during the Covid-19 pandemic where bicycles were selling like hotcakes. However, if your bicycle is 1 of those desirable brands (Pinarello, Colnago, Willier, etc...), you could ask the bike shop where you bought it from to help sell for you.
