So 186 views and not one person interested 😔. Is it too dear? or not the thing people are looking for?

Any way BTT

Got to make room for my new madone 5.5. 😬

Bikes do suffer very bad first year depreciation. £350 is a lot for a secondhand bike, bear in mind this year's models are sold off in January and you can get a new one very cheap.

 

I just got a 2006 Kona Kula (800-900 new) for £250.

 

I would be thinking of asking no more than 2/3 new price if it were mine - sorry. Better to wear it out for a few years then at least you can sell it for the same or only slightly less. I was offered £100 tradein on my old (£400 new) MTB about 8 years ago. It has since done about 4 or 5 years of commuting, thousands of miles, handed me the odd bill and is still worth £50+ of anyone's money.

Oh, and try ebay for similar items as a guide. Someone out there wants your bike, get the price right and everyone can be happy.

 

Evans have the 2007 7.6 at £550 new so 300-350 for a nearly new bike isn't a bad price. 100 miles is nothing assuming it's not damaged. After all I can clock up 100 miles in a week of commuting and popping out to see friends in the evening.

Cheers BOSS. TBH I bought it a s a hack for getting to and from work and training on. Poping to shops etc. But in the end I just rather ride my Madone to work or my MTB to the shops. So it just sits hanging on the wall.

Gambo,

what size frame is it?

[Gambo]

it's a 20" or medium looking a the geometry measurements.

I'm 6'2" and it fits me. If you were much taller, you might find it alittle small.

Sorry for the hi-jack

 

BOSS can I ask where you bough your new bike?

It seems that my budget for a newer bike would be in the same kind of ball park figure

Jack B, my Kona is ex-hire, hence the price. It's been well used but it's still in good order. I can expect service items like chain, sprockets, and brakes to need changing this year (so what, they would on a new bike if I used it) and things like hubs, freewheels and the bottom bracket will wear out in the next couple of years if I use it in the winter, as the original components aren't exactly great. Let's be honest though, I have saved £500+ so I can afford to replace worn out bits and touch up the odd scratch. It's a MTB, they get scratched.

 

I can give you details of the hire shop in Spain if you like, he might be prepared to ship it.
