martinsnyman Posted July 24, 2012 Share Hi There, I have an almost brand new Scott aspect 10 2012 - done 400km, ridden by a rookie, so not ridden hard.I have tried to sell the complete bike, went as low as R 6500 - no takers, must be winter! Pls could someone advise on how to break down the bike, which components to sell together and more or less what to charge. attached all the specs. PS -I do not want to rip some guy a new one, but would like to recover 85% of the R 7200 I paid.

Slowbee Posted July 24, 2012 Share Martin, please include the size !! Will help alot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheV Posted July 24, 2012 Share Hi Martin, It's actually a really nice bike - we have one of them in our "portfolio", ours is an extra small size, so it was really good starter bike for my son moving up from 20". What size is yours? My personal view is that you wont get more than 4.5k for this, it's just the reality/fact that it's a second hand 26" bike. It's not an entry spec or high range spec/price, it's right at a premium end of hardtail-off-the-shelf budget bike fitted with decent components. Just sell it for 4-5k and forget about it.

Slowbee Posted July 24, 2012 Share Also, this is the hub, Bargain hunters land. Either be patient with your price, or maybe junkmail ? edit The V beat me to the draw. Even with my limited knowledge, TheV is spot on ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheV Posted July 24, 2012 Share Sorry - it s a large Size is not in your favor, medium is most common in SA, and it's not a small/xs which is a niche size someone would be looking out for. Every oke who is 1.8m tall and in the market for an entry level bike will be told by his "mates" that he should be getting a NAAINER... so you are really out of luck on this one, sorry.

Pretty much exactly how The V said it. It's second hand, bud. Regardless of the amount of km it's done, it's 2nd hand. That means a minimum of 30% under the price that you paid for it new. Yes, you will get a better price for it knocked down. In that case, advertise everything seperately (but in the same ad) and list the price for each. EG: the Recon may go for R 2k, RD for R 250 etc etc. Good luck dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk you run with selling the components is that you end up with a bunch of stuff you can't sell. It's not a tapered forks, it's also QR forks and hubs, it's not 2012 deore components, it's still 2011, the saddle, stem and bar's are real nasty scott issued components. This is a really nice bike, much nicer than the sum of it's parts... don't strip it, you won't get close to 4.5k for the components and will end up with heap of spares and a sore butt.

martinsnyman Posted July 24, 2012 Share Ok, so how about I buy a second hand Giant VT2 frame (2005) with 3 way swinger shock and manitou minute fork and build it up with the Scotts components, will that be a cool bike? I ride XS as well as groenies and rosemary hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
