Aicorner Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Friend of mine wants to sell a Canondale mtb, about 20 years old, fully rigid (before Rockshox !), old 6 speed XTR, weighs under 12kgs and has a pump built into the seat post. Hardly ridden (I know my mate !) Its a real babe of a bike & I'd like to a fair offer, but how does one value a bike like that - anyone got any ideas about what a fair price would be ? He also has an old R100 for sale if anyone is interested.
CAAD4 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I'm sure someone will want a quality frame to convert into a singlespeed. Try posting a picture of this classic and let the bids begin.
AndreZA Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 He also has an old R100 for sale if anyone is interested. I don't think there are many, if any, coin collectors on the Hub. Best is to take it a real coin shop.
Tumbleweed Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I'll give you R50 for the R100. mud dee the currency speculator?
markStockton Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Friend of mine wants to sell a Canondale mtb' date=' about 20 years old, fully rigid (before Rockshox !), old 6 speed XTR, weighs under 12kgs and has a pump built into the seat post. Hardly ridden (I know my mate !) [/quote'] I would love to rebuild that into a very cool single speed.
Aicorner Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 No, I don't want to sell the classic : I want to buy it. I just want to know how much so I don't rob the seller (too badly !)
Tumbleweed Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 ok, then get us more details on the r100. R500 would be fair.holy roller2008-11-04 00:53:31
CAAD4 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Are you changing your mind now that you see the interest? There are a few Hubbers that realise the quality of Cannondale.
dirtrider Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 But making a SS out of it sounds very wrong !
Tumbleweed Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 But making a SS out of it sounds very wrong ! i agree. i'd keep it the way it is.
markStockton Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 But making a SS out of it sounds very wrong ! i agree. i'd keep it the way it is. If you going to ride it, which you should being that it is a 'dale. You going to wear out the chainset eventually. Why not remove it and put it away. Turn it into an SS using cheap generic bits and if you ever want to restore it, you have all the bits stowed away somewhere.
Aicorner Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 How do I explain this ? I want to buy the mtb. I thought the collective wisdom of this forum would be able to suggest a fair price, or a fair way of determing one. I don't want to buy the road bike, but mentioned it in case anyone is interested in the 20 year old that started the rush to alu
CAAD4 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Our collective wisdom becomes even wiser when we see pictures...
