Bought this from a mate coming up to two years ago.
Basically testing water for offers as I may need to use the funds else where.....

comes with cateye wireless
original bars (straight)
rear rack
black brakes
lock
helmit
plus other bits.......

give me some offers (realistic ) so I have a rough idea what to expect?
I paid £550 so offers around the same? I really have know idea though?
would it be better on ebay?

what do you mean?

 

[roadrash]

i think biggs meant, according to cc rules you must specify a price on a for sale thread ,
in the past, posts with no price have been locked

 

[monkeylc]

A very rough rule of thumb for cycle depreciation...

Lose 50% of the value after one year
Lose 10% each year after that

I.e if the bike was worth £1000 new, then

After 1 year: £500
After 2 years: £450
After 3 years: £405
After 4 years: £365

This is only a rough guide, that I've heard before, but you've only asked for an estimation, so there it is!

What spec does it have - the important mechanical bits - not the cosmetic / accessory stuff that you've listed?

What's the Groupset? What wheels, tyres? What's the fork made of? When did it last have a full service? How many miles has it covered etc. Nothing is particularly obvious from the photos as you can't zoom

I'd take lots of photos, list the full spec, look at what the current model costs and then find a value based on CC's guide above. Based on what you've listed, I'd be surprised if anyone would pay £100!

I'd probably stick it on eBay or try to sell to another 'mate'

Wheeled out of the shop in your ownership: £666*
After 1 year: £500

*less if the warranty is not transferable.
