CJ Van Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Ive had the same with two Cotics ive had on the Hub for more than two years. In the one case every now and then i get a message saying im asking way to much and i just refer them to Cotics site to go buy a new one ( whitch cost a lot more) In the other case i have declined to sell my BFe on several occasion since the buyers obviously did not understand why the bike is special. Ive now decided to strip my solaris max and build up the flare max thats "to expensive" and ride that again but wondering whehter its worth punting the Solaris max up for saleDon't sell the Solaris max! What am I going to ride when my fancy pants carbon frame is broken again? I am so tempted to put in a preorder on the new Solaris Max.

Long Wheel Base Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 For those that will be needing to google it like I needed to. Intrinsic valueEthics Description DescriptionIn ethics, intrinsic value is a property of anything that is valuable on its own. Intrinsic value is in contrast to instrumental value, which is a property of anything that derives its value from a relation to another intrinsically valuable thing.
TNT1 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 For those that will be needing to google it like I needed to. Intrinsic valueEthics DescriptionDescription In ethics, intrinsic value is a property of anything that is valuable on its own. Intrinsic value is in contrast to instrumental value, which is a property of anything that derives its value from a relation to another intrinsically valuable thing. I prefer this definition: In numismatics, intrinsic value, also known as melt value, is the value of the metal, I think it renders the OP's bikes almost worthless.
TNT1 Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 The value is not always in the item. It's often in our minds. https://toughnickel.com/frugal-living/How-to-Know-the-Real-Value-of-Things What Something Is Really WorthSince people have different views about the real value of things, it’s not easy to determine true worth.However, by using the above information, closely examining products, reading reviews and talking to people who have purchased various items, you can get a pretty good idea about their dollar values.In the end, it is you who determines what something is worth.My mother wore a $10 wedding ring for all 56 years of her marriage. Nothing was worth more than that ring to her. I once offered to give her an engagement ring I no longer had use for, but she turned me down. The only ring that had value for her was the one that represented the love she shared with my father.That's a story worth remembering when you are trying to find out how much something is worth. The value is not always in the item. It's often in our minds
arendoog Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Because it is a Kona ,i have to agree and i also like steel frames .There you have it! .I have two kona,s and a steel hard tail .They are not the same bike ,but when i dream about bikes ,those are the ones i dream about
Ispeed_V Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Pests are a feature. They enlighten the bike over timeIf you are a weight weenie
Frosty Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Are your other 28 posts also this weird?It’s okay to question the OP’s post and debate the definition of intrinsic value, but this reply is a bit personal - for me looking on as an outsider.
philippe484 Posted February 3, 2021 Author Posted February 3, 2021 Im glad you got that off your chest.No satisfaction though .. I'm thinking of challenging someone to a duel
Jewbacca Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 No satisfaction though .. I'm thinking of challenging someone to a duelA duel slalom? I will use my plastic bike, you can ride your 9k steel frame.... lets do this!!!
DieselnDust Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 I was thinking along the lines of 100 paces of muizenberg beach mount and joust the old fashioned way. A good old steel pole to the chest
NotSoBigBen Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 You obviously dont value your plastic bike either since you forgot it outside in the weather one night. Never mind the frame, your groupset and bearings are now all rusted and cracked at the joints. You are going to hell for that regardless. /comic sans/ To be fair, good modern steel frames are all protected against corrosion...even internally. Silly thread. Like what you like. I like my bicycles like I like my music - metal as f4ck. That doesn't mean i don't like carbon bikes though, i can appreciate some justin bieber every now and then too [emoji3526][emoji28]It was all going OK till you mentioned bieber #SMK
Eddy Gordo Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 A duel slalom? I will use my plastic bike, you can ride your 9k steel frame.... lets do this!!!we need at least one of these somewhere around here!! or even a 4x track
