Sheds Moderator Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 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.

neil.cavanagh Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Gambo, what size frame is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 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. RED 2.0 HPC 230BHP here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb_ms Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 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 Emily, The Very Yellow 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheds Moderator Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
