2023 - the year to buy bikes?

In my area bikes are still hard to come by for what I want. I did get a large Epic Evo expert though in early Feb this year and while I love it I have only been out 10 times due to work and my location to trails. I just ride my Tarmac much more and considering selling it as I can get pretty much my $$ back at this point.

I resubmitted a frameset to them a few days ago that I’d first submitted a month back - the offer dropped around 30%… note said the market is cooling or something like that. I still took it because it’s easy but could be a sign.

Seems like most shops around me are getting an influx of the $800-$1200 bikes that is their bread and butter, your entry level bike shop hard tails and hybrids. The distributors don’t seem to be getting flush with parts yet though.
