Allrounder Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Hi guys. I thought that I am done with road riding and sold my road bike in January and bought a MTB. And although going off road is nice, and i did one MTB race, I do not think it is for me. And the rest of my group, only rides road. I must say the MTB is very comfy, but it is the wrong tool for the wrong job. And all the MTBikers in cape town is so friendly and they keep on inviting me to join the ride. Thumbs up to you guys. So here goes: (I do not have pics on my phone..... The shame is unbearable) 29" highball C Santa Cruz carbon frameRockshock rebaSRAM xx and X0 1x10 mixavid 1 brakesquxxar wheels with racing ralphs tubless done. Just a ball park figure would be nice to see what I can expect to buy if I sell.
andydude Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 What is the new price of that bike? Maybe you can take the price you paid in january and deduct 5 to 10% depending on how much you rode?
Allrounder Posted June 9, 2017 Author Posted June 9, 2017 Hi Andy, ill add all the numbers. You saw the bike once before!

Rocket-Boy Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 What is the new price of that bike? Maybe you can take the price you paid in january and deduct 5 to 10% depending on how much you rode?That is the problem in that it doesnt work that way. If I was to see a bike that was almost new but was only slightly cheaper than the new one I wouldnt be interested at all.Remember a warranty is extended to the first owner only, so buying a bike at 5-10% less than the new price without any warranty makes no sense at all.

I assumed he bought the bike second hand in january so that would have taken care of the warranty discount.
Pure Savage Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 If its a Large and less than R35k I may have a buyer
IceCreamMan Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Sadly, bikes depreciate faster than BMW's which is a clear indication of the markups involved I reckon. if you bought new in January and bike is in good nick, expect around 60% I reckon. (just a guestimate and no offence intended)
Allrounder Posted June 9, 2017 Author Posted June 9, 2017 If its a Large and less than R35k I may have a buyer If you sell it for 35, I will give you some commission!
Patchelicious Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 If you sell it for 35, I will give you some commission! Just compliment him on his kit, he would like that more than comm.
Allrounder Posted June 9, 2017 Author Posted June 9, 2017 Hahayes, I can now honestly say how nice it is to have proper kit. A compliment is cheaper that 6 beers....
Pure Savage Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Just compliment him on his kit, he would like that more than comm.I will take it any way it comes....
Spoke101 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 If you sell it for 35, I will give you some commission! With second hand condition is everything, but going on your list I'll say ±30k.
