Caerus Posted April 25 Share Good Morning All, It's been a while since I have last posted anything on Bikehub. Since Covid, life has not been the same for me, I'm unfortunately a long Covid sufferer, and cycling has had to take a major back seat, and I have been out of the scene for almost 4 years now. I pulled out my old 26" Giant XTR Hardtail Full Carbon ( Large) from storage, it was going to be converted to a 650B/ 27.5" bike, unfortunately, the funds seriously dried up, and I have other priorities. My question is this, is there still a market even for 26" bikes, what would it be worth, if any? Should I sell it as is, or break it up into parts? I just have no idea of the value of any more of the parts, or where to even begin. Everything has been well maintained and looked after, I have attached the bike as it currently is. I also have pics of all the parts if I were to break it up. All suggestions and comments are welcome, please. Thanks, Caerus Edited April 25 by Caerus Information left out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted April 25 Share As much as the idea sounds great and very appealing. Right now, I unfortunately have to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmarc Posted April 25 Share I'm sitting with a similar bike - TREK 9.8 Full carbon 1 X 10 SRAM XO setup with RS Reba + remote lockout. Was looking at flpping it and if i got between 6 - 7K i would be happy Caerus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted April 26 Share @Madmarc - Thats kind of what I was looking at doing. Looking for around R5-6k, the parts are where the value is, I think, and it seems, the bike would make a decent gravel bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do a Gravel conversion, but then i would want 27.5" Wheels but looking at the small gap on the chain & seat stays on the frame with 26" X 2.2 tires - There be no way 27.5 would fit. So it will sit until i flip it Edited April 26 by madmarc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
