thats the problem IMO
cost 575 - value now? A lot less
Fork too short, and QR front wheel is out of place on a "hardcore" (5.5lb frame weight) hardtail IMO.
what they said and nice viral.
What it cost you is not what it is worth.
Full bikes tend to go for less that the cost of stripping it and selling the bits.
No pics, no frame or fork age and £500 plus should be £350 posted
And what size frame is it?
yeah needs pics, seems quite cheap imho.
Well, at least it's a change to the usual "how much is it worth" ad 😐
it's also built with a fair selection of tat
Why are you selling it?
I also think freshly powder coated orange frame makes you think it might be an Orange, despite the title. So I would change it to 2005 (or whatever) Dialled Prince Albert Frame size, age, colour, condition, provenance.
Thanks for the feedback.
It was my first build with all new parts sourced from many on line retailers and I was aiming to build up a simple reliable XC bike. Parts choice was conservative and to a realistic budget. I am selling because i have recently lost my job and I have a full sus bike which i love and want to keep hold of for as long as possible.
I will add more detail on frame and other components age. New is brand new by the way.
How do I post pics within the ad?
Constructive comments in the main.Not sure if i've offended anyone on here and not sure what a fair selection of tat means!
Thanks
Rich
You will get more money splitting it and selling as components
ebay might well be a better bet as well
