HI guys, im new to this, so this is my first post!
Ill cut to the chase, ive got a 2002 Kona Manomano, ive had it for a few years now (4 to be exact). I used to ride it every weelend round the lake district till i hurt my knee in a car accident, since then its been sat in the garage, so i think its about time to let it go.
Here is why im posting here rather than on the Classifieds, i dont know how much to sell it for?
its light blue, has marazocci front forks and a rockshox rear shock, really smooth ride with hydraulic brakes front and rear, front brakes are disc but the rear are standard rim brakes but have some good stopping power.
ive got it out the garage and had it serivced so all is in good order!
So guys, how much do you think its worth as a ball park figure?
Any help would be really appreciated!
Callum.

Not a great deal tone honest. I'd either keep it for a time when your knee feels better or give it to someone who might benefit from it.

What yoss said, unless it's particularly collectible I can't see it being worth a whole lot. More than a bike shaped object admittedly but it's not likely to be more than a few hundred and you're unlikely to get anyone on here to pay that for it unless that model has particularly fond memories for someone.

I'd post some pics and see what sort of response you get. You may do better on eBay with a less informed and fickle crowd.

Try putting a similar post on retrobike
They will have a better idea probably, I'd disagree with previous two posts, while it may not be worth much as a bike for people to use, Kona's are quite collectible and have a loyal following, it's not a classic model like a Cindercone but it is the precursor to their more modern suspension bikes and uses a suspension platform they still use today so you may get lucky on retrobike or ebay and get interest from a collector
