Plyphon I sent you an email explaining that I would prefer to sell the whole bike really before I consider splitting. Then I thought you took umbrage to this which is why you were taking the piss.
I just checked, I don't have a reply this end - apologies if you meant to reply in all seriousness but missed the send button (have done this myself more than once).

It takes more than not selling me wheels to get to me, fwiw taking the piss is my default stance. 😆
Sorry mate. I'm sure I replied to you.
So which is it, your wanting to sell complete or split for, crying, out, loud!
Obviously I would prefer to sell as a whole bike as it saves on postage etc
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, get a grip. Sold my 2010 Spot on here, to be fair over a year ago. MUCH better spec and had to split the bike, I had to take a serious loss. Move on 😥
What's the BKB

Only if you actually sell it whole. Set a time limit then strip and split it, other wise nobody is going to offer you anything for the parts as it's a waste of time.
Downhilldave you wanted 2200 for yours a year ago !!!
Nice colour though.
When i come to sell my 456C I'll give it a week here and on BikeRadar forums then it'll go on eBay.
The market is so big on eBay it'll always go for what the ballpark figure of its value is. You don't have to be worried it might not "be seen" by the right buyer and goes for £1.99 or something.
I usually start my auctions at the lowest I could see it selling for anyway. So if something is probably worth £300, i'll start at £200.
I ended up with circa 1.6k, less all the pi55ing about, build was over 5k. BUT it was over a year ago. You need to either keep it OR get shut. How much money have you spent since your colour change? How many miles have you done since then? MOVE ON or keep it!!
What's bkb
?[/if we hadn't have seen that picture of you walking the end of BKB then we might have been able to trust your judgement a bit more. Did your bike at that time also have too steep a headangle ?]
For the love of God, would someone please give him the money and buy his bloody bike!
🙄 My Google Foo is weak.
BKB aka Barry knows best. A legendary Surrey hills downhill that drops you down into peaslake village.
Quite often seen in the pages of MBR. Nothing too technical, pedally and fast with a lovely set of berms at the finish.
We always finish our rides by giving Barry a good seeing to. 😀
I am open to offers chestrockwell
What?!
My offer is £400 posted to Vienna and you pay the PayPal fees
Sorry guys, I'm in Calderdale so no steep rocky descents here.Or any too technical descents 😉 Ooh see what I did there.
Sure I saw a pic of him pushing down sticks pass too
Wasn't there a pic of him pushing along Yr Afon in CyB?
Just raffle it. Someone on here will get it for peanuts. 40 quid a ticket to be in with a chance of winning 'Renton's Runt':O). Surely 20 folk on here would be up for it? 40 folk/20 quid?
Has anyone bought it yet?

I'm just finalising my offer
My god is this still going on.

'Renton's Runt
Brilliant
FWW if you want the best return the answer in splitting it and selling all the individual bits on eBay.
Yes its a faff but you will have a much larger audience and a large portion of that audience won't be as concerned about whether its the latest geometry or wheel size.
I split a bike and listed it on here recently and got a little interest, then bunged it on eBay , I got more for the forks alone (oldish lefty max) than I was asking for the frame and forks combined on here.
Lets face it if its a bike that gets little use now and you keep hold of it for another 6/12 months the values probably going to have halved again.
Decent pics and plenty of them , good description and have the auction finishing anytime between 7 and 9pm on a Thurs or Sunday should see the best return.
Or ignore all the above keep it and ride it more.
Split, sell the bits (26'ers are in demand) but hang up the frame in your shed. Its pointless as it's not wanted/popular.
if you were in the states turner would give you $600 off a new frame in exchange for that one.
Still in demand but also not popular or wanted.
Comedy genius.
Erm..... So it's sold then.
Any guesses on price.
£850
Dunno - but hope you got what you wanted 🙂
I am happy with what I got.
Dvatcmark. Nope.
Doh, genuinly interested in what you got though
£900
So much for only being worth 500 quid eh !!!
Have you actually got either hard cash or money in your bank account?
How many times have you sold it this week?
Yep sold locally to a chap for 900 quid.
Nice one
Well done mate 😆
But! but! but! you said...
I've got it up for 975 posted which I feel is a good price. If I lower it any more it just doesn't make sense to sell.
Doh there's always one.
I had to lower my expectations a little.
Hooray!
unrelated hijack, renton do you still have these?
