What is TPC Buying?
TPC is actively seeking high-quality road bikes, mountain bikes, and TT, Cyclocross, and Gravel bikes from recent model years, as well as high-end frames and wheelsets. The higher the original MSRP, the better chance of receiving an offer.
We don’t accept items with issues that would deem them unsellable, such as structural flaws in the frame or wheelsets or damage that affects carbon or reusability of the item.
Trade-in values are not guaranteed. Make sure your items are in good working condition, with all the necessary parts included for the bike, frame or wheelsets to function, otherwise we may amend the offer.
Road Bikes
- Bikes from model year 2015 or newer.
- A minimum original MSRP of $2,000 or higher
- *The older the bike the higher the original MSRP will have to be in order to receive an offer.
Mountain Bikes, E-Road, E-Hybrid, and E-Mountain Bikes
- Bikes from model years 2017 or newer.
- A minimum original MSRP of $2,000 or higher
- *The older the bike the higher the original MSRP will have to be in order to receive an offer.
TT, Cyclocross, and Gravel Bikes
- Bikes from model year 2016 or newer.
- A minimum original MSRP of $2,000 or higher
- *The older the bike the higher the original MSRP will have to be in order to receive an offer.
Frames and Wheelsets
- Frames are held to the same model-year guidelines as bikes. If your frame has any special parts like aero seat posts, integrated cockpits or batteries, they’ll need to be included.
- TPC is seeking 700c wheels with both quick-release and thru-axels and 650b gravel wheels. Tubeless and clincher wheels will receive the best offers.
- For mountain bike wheels, we’re seeking 29” boost and super boost wheelsets. Non-boost wheels are more variable as they’re less in demand.
- We are purchasing fewer 27.5” wheels as this size is being phased out by manufacturers.
We are greatly limiting our offers for tubular wheels as demand for this type of tire and wheel combo continues to decrease.
Read our article on the difference between clincher, tubular and tubeless wheels for additional details before submitting your wheels.

Once our buyers send you an offer, you will need to complete our verification process in order to accept the offer. You will need the following:
- A valid US drivers license or passport (valid, current and undamaged ID. Photos of the ID on your computer or other device will not work, and will cause you to fail the identification process)
