I'm well aware it's not much! But it's lying around and I was about to just throw it on ebay and see what happens. But a friend offered to buy it off me if I give him a price. Neither of us have any idea what fair is, and tbh in the interest of not ripping him off I thought I'd ask STW! I can rest assured you won't be over pricing it! 😉
So essentially its an '05 Spec Hardrock XC with 07 Marzocchi MX Pro ETA Bombers. There are Truv cranks & BB, Orbit headset and 8/9sp front mech, but literally they are of no worth. It's possible I might throw in some Juicy 7's (of unknown age ~'07 likely).
He wants to start chumming me to glentress, and wants something cheap to begin, as much as i'd love to give him this for free I can't really afford it (we're not all IT managers are we?). So either I point him to something decent second hand and sell this myself separately, or I sell him this and source the rest cheap as chips until he has a working hard tail beast...
What should I charge him? Given he's actually happy to pay anything because he really has no idea, but I really don't like the idea of ripping him off and I want him to come riding with me and he's obviously doing me a favour with regard to postage etc... yet that's probably negated by me building a bike with him!
Cheers 🙂
How long has it been lying round?
Is it a complete bike or just part?
I'm guessing 100 max really
If it all works OK and the drivetrain isn't knackered, £100 is too low. Hardrocks are good bikes. Just selling it as parts the forks and brakes would get £100 on their own fairly easily (in good nick) so I reckon £150-£200 for a full bike in good working order. 🙂
As a first decent MTB that would be absolutely perfect, too
I would pay about £150-£170 for it. Great starter bike.
Yeah I'd go £150 ish 200 at a push?
Before i read anyone elses estimates i put it at £150, you can always offer a years free servicing into the deal 😆
£150 sounds about right to me 🙂 that was my point to him send a decent little starter bike really, once built up...
Everything " works" drive train is old and beaten but working! I was actually using it up until a year and half ago!
Cheers fellas 🙂
