A friend recently sold the same bike, which was already converted to a 1x.

 

Sadly there is not much of a market for 2x

 

Depending on the condition, probably R6 to R8k ... being very optimistic.

 

It is a pity, as these are VERY nice bikes !!  I had the "Big 7" a few years back.

 

PS - You say "Big 9", but types 21" .... most probably a 29".

 

 

Take a chance, put it on the Classifieds for R8k ... for the right gravel rider the benefits of the 2x may just be what he is looking for

 

Put your safety belt on ... the "traders" WILL bombard you with offers of R3 or R4k !!

I think the (21" ) is the frame size or perhaps a 2021 year model. They are very nice bikes.

Could be a VERY good doner bike for a gravel-monster ....

'Doner' Freudian slip Chris 😜 ... ek het gelees 'donner'

Depends on the spec but not more than R8k for sure. Chances are probably closer to R5-6k (sadly) and possibly less if the rims are mismatched.

Correct yes, 21" Frame Size

reply with some pics of the bike. Then we can give you a better estimate price range

Rule of thumb... start at 50% of what the new price is and work your way down from there.
