... and how much?

Considering chucking my excess "parts bin" onto an On One 456 frame - missing a few bits so there's some small expenditure. Here's the build, [b]whats the opinion on what you'd pay for it fully built?[/b]

One One 456 Frame
Mavic 719's on Hope Hubs (Conti Vert /Pana Fire XC tyres
2003 Marz Z1 Freeride 130 coil fork
Avid J3's
FSA 170 Stem
Easton EA70 Bar
FSA generic seatpost
WTB Saddle
SLX chainset.

Just wondering if its worth less trouble than selling / posting the bits as they are.....

YOu would be better off selling the parts IMO

You would always be better off selling as parts.
Whereabouts in the country are you?

I'd take your back juicy 3 off you for the right price

atlaz, the Juicy's are one of things I'd have to buy, as is the frame and the chainset.

Just thought I could build a chuckabout bike for the summer for £400 of sale parts and sell on. Maybe not such a good idea...

Bikes are always worth more as parts, so buying parts to make a bike to sell is false economy IMO 🙂

Ah, miles away then (I'm in the north west).
If you're keen on building up for a summer of fun then go for it, but to get as much back as possible strip it back down afterwards.
