El Dodgius Bastardo Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 The 2nd hand market for 26'ers is a joke unless you havea REALLY special bike. Offer him half and wait EZRider 1
gummibear Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Might come down to 20K? Maybe R12k if frame is new. TheV 1
TheV Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 I sold a Tomac Snyper, mint condition, full XT and only about 6months old - for R15k
El Dodgius Bastardo Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Fair price. Same goes for Morewoods, Ibis', etc. But it needs full XT (at least) and a good frame. Whether the frame is new or not is irrelevant, once you sell to someone else it's secondhand no matter the amount of k's
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 I thought you were asking opinions on new bikes... Agree with everyone here. Rip Off artist of note. Yeah, so the 9.9 is carbon. Big whoop. I can get an On One carbon frame for 4.5k landed. Then that leaves you 20k for parts. Which, second hand, would give you an XT / X0 kitted bike with ZTR Flow / Spank Subrosa wheels and a REBA RLT Ti Solo Air fork & RP23 / RT3 rear can. No comparison.
covie Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Mayhem im disapointed in your Reba RLT Ti, solo air? im going to sit in a corner and cry now. BTW guess what i stuck on my bike this week TheV 1
