You can't have too many bikes, but you can spend too little time riding them...I would like my old bike to go to someone who will enjoy riding her and get more use out of her than I do...But I don't want to give her away...So what is she worth???
deore groupset in as new condition, true wheels and pretty new forks although these do really let down the frame as they are naff...2006 frame showing some wear but plenty of life left...
I really want to avoid ebay as its pants...

'forks are naff' - selling it well there! £300ish if you're lucky?

A spec list of what is installed on the bike might help somebody on deciding how much it could be worth. All i got was 06 trek frame, deore groupset, naff forks.

Its a 19.5 in manchester, but that shouldn't affect the price 😉

I would ebay it as you'll get offered a bag of marbles and a dead grass snake on here for it

£250, ish? Less on here, more if you sell it on ebay.

(and -£50 for calling it a 'steed') 😉

Seen the frame itself go for 100+ on Ebay, think the last one I watched fetched about 150 or so.

Easily make 350 if you brake it.
