After opinions on what this frameset only is worth 2nd hand?
General condition is very good having been ridden 700miles, only 1 slight scuff on the top tube.

Used? Drop 50% then 10% per year...
Unless it's really desirable
Yes, used and ridden ~700 miles.
I guess quite desireable as they seems to few a far between up for sale.
Ok Specialized give you a 5 year warranty - used is 0, thats worth a big chunk off the price, the frames are easy to damage doing bearing changes - all OK in the pivots?
It's a race bike, how was it raced, by who, how hard through what?
oh and is this a for sale post?
On the word of the seller, not seen it myself yet:
No bearing changes nor shock servicing; said given the low mileage and usage its not needed it.
Doesn’t seemed to have been a racers hack; more a lux XC and he’s selling it due to a change in direction and lack of use.
Are Specialized a stickler for that warranty rule; or are there cases of goodwill coverage? Was hoping the latter.
New they seem to have retailed at about £7k for the complete bike; can’t find a frameset price but found $5.5k shown for the Sworks at that time.
Err no, it's a wanted add actually 😉
£1000 would be a good negotiating place to start.
But FWIW 700 offroad miles [b]could[/b] mean a load of wear, if rocky etc or next-to-no wear if just grass BW's etc.
Goodwill coverage 😆 you want to risk it?
A 2014 Carbon comp frame is £1400 at the mo. I think the comp uses an all alu rear where the WC has one set of stays in Carbon
Fair enough 😐
That Carbon Comp is well priced actually, tempting in a way.
I looked at a 'bargain' frame but then had to add a fork (no mention of frame[u]set[/u]) which means getting hold of a Brain widget. That's £300 from Specialized - IF they will sell it to you and then you have to buy a set of forks at full retail from a dealer and pay Specialized to fit the Brain. For a set of World Cup SIDS that's a total of £1200

Things got drastically tightened up in the past 2 years and goodwill has been replaced by strict "original owner" and POP (proof of purchase) or they won't even entertain the claim
