For those sensitive about used prices dropping due to paint chips and scratches
1. Don't buy a bicycle
-> If you don't have a bicycle from the start, there's no paint chips and scratches
2. Buy 2 of the same bike
-> Keep 1 for riding and store the other 1 at home
Then the one stored at home will be in S-class condition, so you'll get a good used price
3. Only ride on flat roads at home
-> If you don't go to the field and only ride on flat roads, there's no paint chips and scratches
It's not as difficult as you think, so please refer to this
