chris414 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Hey there I've gotten an offer for a 2nd hand Raleigh RC3000 from someone and i'm just wondering if it's a good deal. It's a 2007 model, apparently only ridden 200km, seems to be in good condition, comes with clips and computer. Is it worth R5000? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewbell Posted November 18, 2008 Share not at all if it was new maybe, i only got R3000 for mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentBikes Posted November 18, 2008 Share I think they were new about R5700 so in my opinion not a good deal as they go for about R3000 to R4000 secondhand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammajoor Posted November 18, 2008 Share Yip R3000 is a better price. the RC 3000 is the entry level Raleigh, I sold my Specialized with Campy and Easton wheels with a Campy Ultra Torque crank for R6000. Offer half, see if he accepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted November 18, 2008 Share You can probably pick up a 2008 version brand new for a few hundred Rands more. Most shops are discounting their 2008 stock in anticipation of the 2009 arivals. Check out the Raleigh Breakaway Deal link on this website. If I remember, they are selling for R5 800 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted November 18, 2008 Share Yup 5 Grand for a 2007 is steep. They were 4 Grand new. 3K is the highest I would go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted November 18, 2008 Share If it has full carbon record on, ok, R5k... otherwise around R2500.00 is fair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knersis Posted November 18, 2008 Share A Friend of mine bought a 2007 RC 3000 with 105 (9) speed, computer and extra's for R3 100 about 2 months ago. Everything in very good nick. Bike Weighted about 300 gram less than stock RC3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_lurker Posted November 18, 2008 Share Yip R3000 is a better price. the RC 3000 is the entry level Raleigh' date=' ...[/quote'] Actually, the RC2000 is the entry level Sora equiped Raleigh.The RC3000 is next up with Tiagra. Agree 100% that R5k is too steep.Offer him R3k if the bike is in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klein Karoo Posted November 18, 2008 Share I have a RC 6000 with The RC 3000 parts on it and selling it for R3000 hopefully. Bike in very good condition. I also think R5000 is too step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_biker Posted November 18, 2008 Share I agree, I could have bought a NEW RC3000 from my LBS for just over 5k. A 2007 model is probably worth R2500. You can get good road bikes with Shimano 105 groupset and carbon bits for under 5k... This guy's taking a chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
