The Art of Parting Out a Bikes for Profit.
The question of profitability in the used bike parts market is complex, but the answer is a qualified "yes." While it's not a guaranteed path to riches, you can make money selling used bike parts, especially if you approach it strategically. Profitability hinges on several factors, including the types of parts you're selling (high-end or vintage components tend to command higher prices), the condition of those parts, and your ability to reach the right buyers. Online marketplaces offer a broad audience, but competition can be fierce. Success often requires a combination of sourcing parts affordably (from old bikes, garage sales, or other cyclists), cleaning and prepping them for sale, pricing them competitively, and providing excellent customer service. While it's not a get-rich-quick scheme, a well-managed used bike parts business can be a viable side hustle or even a full-time endeavor for those with the knowledge and dedication.

My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”
