  • What is TPC Buying?

    TPC is actively seeking high-quality road bikes, mountain bikes of all disciplines, TT, triathlon, cyclocross, gravel and E-bikes from recent model years, as well as high-end bike framesets and wheelsets.

    The higher the original MSRP, the better chance of receiving an offer.

    • Bikes from model year 2018 or newer
    • Undamaged frame, and components
    • 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.
    • Bikes from model years 2018 or newer.
    • Name brand E-Bikes
    • Functioning motor and battery
    • 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.
    • Bikes from model year 2018 or newer.
    • No Tubular Wheel equipped bikes
    • 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.
    • We are actively buying all modern MTB, Road, TT, and Gravel wheelsets. Axle size and rim size information helps with our offer accuracy so please include it if you know.
    • For MTB wheels, 29” Boost & Superboost wheelsets are most in demand. 27.5 and non-Boost MTB wheels will not receive an offer as the demand has fallen for these.
    • Frames are held to the same model-year guidelines as bikes.
    • Proprietary and special parts for frames: matching fork, aero seat posts, integrated cockpits, batteries, and thru-axles are included in our offers and are required for submissions to pass inspection.

    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.

    We don’t accept items with issues that would deem them unsellable, such as:

    • Structural flaws in the frame
    • Dented, or cracked rims
    • Significant paint damage
    • Missing, or failed components including drivetrain, and E-bike batteries

    Note: We reserve the right to re-package your bike if it fails our inspection and, in some cases, we will ship the item back to you. Please do not mail us bikes or gear meant to be scrapped.


    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.
