As someone works in the bike biz, my advice would be to buy now. If you wait until spring it is likely that you will not be able to find the bike that you want. Supply chain challenges in the bike industry are real, and lead times do not appear to be improving soon. A 105 disk bike is a super value. If you can lay your hands on one that fits you, buy it.
Buying now is its own challenge. I'm trying to buy a new road bike. I put a deposit on a 2021 in September. No sign of it yet and nobody seems to know if or when it will become available. Started looking around for alternatives and there is almost nothing out there. Supplies of mid-spec, common sizes are almost non-existent.
Seen a few articles that are saying maybe see some relief in 2022.
My question is how will the used market look in 2021? 2022? Will everyone who bought bikes during the lockdowns try to sell them?
This fall I sold a 10 year old 26inch mtn bike for $300 and could of asked more, normally would of sold it for $150 tops.
