j13pey Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi all, i'm new here. Need some advice please Am looking to get back into going out riding again after a fair few years out. A friend of mine has a saracen x-ile team m.a.d edition that has not had much use and is in very good condition. Its the type of geomatory i'm after. It is a fair age now, I guess its around a 2003-2004 model. The problem is that we dont know what its worth, I dont want to spend over the odds and also dont want to give him less than its worth. He gave £600 new for it back in the day. He guesses around £100 Can some of you a bit more clued up with trials/street bikes help me out What would be a fair price?

JT! Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 100-150 would seem fair depending on what components it has. Brakes and rear hub are two of the biggest deciding factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for parts it had maggies (front) hope mini (rear) halo combat wheels so any thing under 200 sounds a steal to me just keep a good eye on the frame for cracks and it will be all good.Not to sure on the geo of the frame though sorry.
