mate has got one of these gathering dust in his shed and asked me to find out if its worth anything.

Looks a bit like this, without the red panaracer tyres

All I know is that ist got rockshox judy Forks on it, and no disc brakes.

i was thinking £100-£150 but wondered if any retro value?

No retro value.

Your valuation sounds about right. To be honest it’d be a good bike for someone who wants to ride on towpaths etc, far nicer than £150 would get you new!

I sold a 2001 Rockhopper last year for £130, and it wasn’t particularly tidy.

I might be interested, what size is it and where in the country is it?

its a 17″ and in Scotland, but think he was hoping for closer to £300. Sounds like its got decent kit on it, ricthey seatpost XT Kit.

I doubt he will get £300 for it though.

Edit: because the spam post has gone.

They had an XT rear mech, but were LX otherwise IIRC, the Ritchey seatpost is a basic £20 alu job. It’s got crap forks and v-brakes are the issues, and not disc compatible hubs.

“To be honest it’d be a good bike for someone who wants to ride on towpaths”
Oh dear me 😀

Its a perfectly good bike, you could ride that anywhere.
i’d say stick it up in the local press or egay for £300 bikes are big news at the moment and spesh always do well on egay.
