Grease_Monkey Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 Because i have been watching classifieds a while and most of them are way overpriced . Example people buy bike x at a shop for 10k, the price if shopping around is actually 7k then after use they try and sell for 7k ( what its new ot some shops) especially if they use the "premium " shops. Example a giant anthem x 2016 ...some oaks buy them for 40 and wanted to sell em second hand for 35 when they where 32 new ( march this year) Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSo true, saw a Spez Camber Comp 2015 model for 37k in the classifieds today, they were about 45k new in 2015, but saw one in the shop the other day for 32k. People are delusional about the second hand value of their bikes. As for your Q - maybe have a look at the epic. Specialized are running some very good prices on the 2016 models to make space for 2017 models. I think they had the Comp model for 33k the other day...
