Been out of the buying/selling loop for a while so I’ve lost touch with what things are going for. Am usually quite good at gauging these things, but not his time. Help, please!
Need to sell to raise funds – don’t ride it enough to justify keeping it and I have a mate interested in buying it, so…
Frame: 19.5″ Turner 5 Spot. 2005/6 with the Horst link. I’ve owned it for 4 or 5 years, bought from these very classifieds. Am I led to believe these are still quite sought-after and get good prices on fleaBay? Or did I dream that? Mines in VGC. RP23 shock, serviced by TF. Frame’s been well looked after by me (regular lubing of the grease ports) and linkages/bushes are regularly checked/serviced by a proper spanner-monkey at the LBS.
Forks: Magura Menjas. Perfectly good fork. Serviced a year or two ago and were found to be in excellent condition internally. Didn’t really need doing.
Rest of the bits are all from 2008/9/10: XT chainset, BB, F&R mechs, shifters and brakes. Actually the brakes might be LX. Wheels are black-spoked Mavic XC717 on XTR hubs, which I’ve owned from new. Replaced the XTR freehub-body about a year ago. Thomson seat pin. Spesh Alias 143 saddle. Headset, bars and stem are nowt special.
Goes like a sewing machine. Sweet as. Cassette and chain replacement isn’t far away, though.
Abuse-wise, I’ve never crashed it. It only comes out when the trails are dry and/or I go somewhere lumpy that warrants a 5″ full susser. And it’s regularly sat in the garage for many months on end without seeing any daylight.
What sorta price should I be looking for in your hexpert opinions?
Ta.
