Doesnt get used as much as it should. Thinking of selling to fund a race bike.

XC race, road race, bmx race..?

How much does it get used? How much do you think you could get for it?

Xc race. How much? Not a massive amount 450ish. Already have a frame in the garage. It would be a budget racer!

surely you need it to train for the race bike 😉

Tomthumb has it.

Doing proper training on a road bike will do way more for your results than any race bike.

@Ed - So when is the right time to sell a road bike - got a winter bike to unload and I was hoping now would be good!

A winter trainer would be Autumn/Winter all other road bikes Spring/Summer.
Anything else you need help with 🙂

Stick it on the turbo for winter training and sell it in the Spring if you still don't think you'll use it :o)

keep it, I had one for a while, sold it because I didn't use it and ended up buying another one a bit further down the line. Still doesn't get used much but its nice to have it for when I can use it.

And I don't have lots of bikes (or money), all I have is the road bike and a soon to be single speed inbred.

I sold mine about 2 years ago, just bought its replacement, but spent very little on its replacement so it owes me practically nothing. Therefore, if it sits practically unridden, i have little guilt!
