big frames always are held back as tall guys are cheap in my observation.

I think components will hold up best in value.
wheels not, as the cost to ship has altered the equation probably for good.
whole bikes also suffer from the cost to ship now- a big frame is even more impacted.
Tall guys cheap? I resemble that remark. Perhaps one reason is that for those of us at 6’4” everything begins with a premium: clothes, cars, bikes, furniture etc are all more dear in price. Custom cabinets in the kitchen etc. It makes shopping a painful experience. Whatever I buy has to be of good enough quality to last. Cheap? Maybe more along the lines of watching value closely
