El Dodgius Bastardo Posted May 31, 2012 Share The 2nd hand market for 26'ers is a joke unless you havea REALLY special bike. Offer him half and wait EZRider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkie Posted May 31, 2012 Share Might come down to 20K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted May 31, 2012 Share Might come down to 20K? Maybe R12k if frame is new. TheV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheV Posted May 31, 2012 Share I sold a Tomac Snyper, mint condition, full XT and only about 6months old - for R15k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dodgius Bastardo Posted May 31, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 31, 2012 Share 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.
