Larryfa Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Hey Guys, Checking my garage, I found this beauty from the 90's (Wheeler E11 Titanium). The truth is, I have no intention of using it, that's why I did maintenance on it and I'm thinking of putting it on sale, but I don't have the slightest idea of how much it can be worth. Can you suggest prices? Attached picturesThanks Edited May 10, 2021 by Larryfa Long Wheel Base 1
Christie Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) Dont sell it! Give it to you children or friends' children to ride.You will get less than you expect if you put it up for sale, the market for 26s with canti brakes are limited.Nice bike! ????

TNT1 Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Put 700c wheels with 38mm tyres on it and use it. ChrisF, Christie and Mongoose! 3
WIPEOUT 1000 Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) How does one sell such a stunning bike, and more importantly one with so many great memories, for so little? It's a bit of a left field suggestion, but if you're kids are not going to ride it, make another great memory and donate it to someone who needs a bike? Edited May 11, 2021 by WIPEOUT 1000 ChrisF 1
BuffsVintageBikes Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 If 26er duals are still fetching around 6-7K then I'd guess a titanium hardtail around the 10K mark?Lovely bike, I never realized that Wheeler made a titanium frame. That's a nice collectible piece for someone into mtbs. TNT1 and DJuice 2
TNT1 Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 I never realized that Wheeler made a titanium frame. Weird. I remember when I realized that they didn't exclusively make Ti frames.

eddy Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Put 700c wheels with 38mm tyres on it and use it.It may be tough with canti brakes to get the pads and rim lined up... Wayne pudding Mol and TNT1 2
BogusOne Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 It may be tough with canti brakes to get the pads and rim lined up... Not so tough with these little magafters.... TNT1, Jakkals., eddy and 5 others 8
Mojoman Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 It may be tough with canti brakes to get the pads and rim lined up...Lol...If there is one thing that was the best thing ever for MTB, it was disc brakes!
Christie Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Not so tough with these little magafters....Very cool!

Mucg safer and the shipping is actually very quick. Mostly via DHL and delivered in some cases in under a week from state side. Here is a link to a similar adapter available on Amazon ( same manufacturer as the earlier one i posted) https://www.amazon.com/Baoblaze-Aluminum-Converter-Adapter-Bracket/dp/B07C2S7GM2/ref=sr_1_44?dchild=1&keywords=26+inch+to+700c+v+brake+adapter&qid=1620640591&sr=8-44 For a disc brake convertion you could use one of these on the frame. How sturdy they are I cannot say as I have not used one before and Im a bit sceptical BUT I have read a few reviews where people have used them without any issues.... If you Google a bit I see there is more robust version around but I have not found any for sale yet.... https://www.amazon.com/Diameter-Converter-Mounting-Adjustable-Seatposts/dp/B089S425M1/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=bicycle+disc+brake+frame+adapter&qid=1620641039&sr=8-2
