Trade in your road bike for another bike from our collection

Can I trade in my road bike for a gravel bike?

Yes, the kind of bike does not have to be the same, as long as your own bike fits what we buy. You can trade in a road bike for a gravel bike, or a mountain bike for a road bike. The sum for the top-up stays the same as for any other trade-in.

• In the form you choose the kind of your own bike and fill in brand, model and groupset; for a mountain bike we also ask about the suspension.

How is the trade-in value of my road bike determined, and what do I pay on top?

Your model and groupset, its age, the kilometres and the condition of the wear parts decide the value, not just the model name. The purchase value of your bike counts as your trade-in value. What you pay on top is the price of the bike you buy minus that value.

• Your trade-in value is not fixed in advance: it follows our assessment of your details and photos.

How does trading in a road bike work, step by step?

You choose a bike from our collection and register your own bike with the form, with your details, photos, frame number and invoice. After our assessment we let you know whether we take your bike in with your purchase and, if so, at what trade-in price.

• Register: choose the trade-in option, name the bike you want in the notes, and fill in your bike’s version, groupset, wheels and the condition of the wear parts.
• Handover: we agree with you how and when your bike comes to us and the bike you buy goes to you.

What papers and photos do I need to trade in?

You need the original invoice in your own name, the frame number and photos of your bike. We buy from the first owner and check every frame number. You take the photos with your phone: seven fixed shots, and an eighth if there is damage or wear.

• The seven photos: the whole bike from the right and from the left, the down tube with the model name, cassette and chain, crank and rear derailleur, the frame number, and head tube with fork crown.
• In the form you confirm that you are the rightful owner and that the invoice is in your name.

Which road bike can I trade in?

We buy premium road bikes, gravel bikes and mountain bikes: top models from a recent model generation with an electronic groupset, well maintained and with an undamaged frame, from the first owner. The brands and groupsets are listed on our selling page.

Trade-in, direct purchase or consignment: what suits me?

If you want a different bike from us and yours fits what we buy, we assess whether trading in is possible: you then only pay the difference. If you mainly want to sell your bike, you choose direct purchase or consignment. The comparison of those routes, including selling it yourself, is on our selling page.

• Direct purchase: you sell your bike to us, with no commission, if it fits what we buy.
• Consignment: we sell it on your behalf, if we accept the order, for a fixed commission on the selling price. What it costs and what you keep is on the consignment page.
