Fishwog Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Evening people, OK, well...... BMX has pretty much ruled out trials so i MAY give up and sell my trials bike. Thing is I have no clue what it's worth, so heres a spec. Echo Control 1065 Fatty forks Rear maggy w heatsinks, control booster Front Avid SL vee w XTR lever FSA orbit pro headset Middleburns w/ milled 20t bash Mavic x517 on Hope lightweight w Hot-S tyre Rear black CK on new Echo rim (ground) w maxxis highroller DMR v8 pedals pazzaz bars and echo stem Hope skewers New deore cut-down mech KMC koolchain I'm thinking I'll get about £750 out of it maybe? I also really don't want to split, as I'll always have odd bits and bobs sitting about..... What you all think it's worth? Also it's all in very good nick, some people here can back me up on that aswell... Cheers! Sam :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Sounds like a very attractive bike , perhaps posting pictures might help estimations of value . Also the purchase date and how it's been treated / ridden or any repair / upgrade history will give a fair idea . Either way , I'm sure it'll be sought after , sounds good on paper ( monitor. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwog Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) Well, only thing different about it is that one side of the four bolt mounts in the frame has been tappd to M6, and the booster, spacers and mounts have been drilled wider accordingly. Other than that it has been ridden smoothly nothing creaks, has the usual scratches etc. only thing different in the picture is that it now has a Hot-s on the front.

trialsguru Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 nooo sam dont give up, i rode bmx for a while then got bored and started trials again, dont sell your bike just yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PythonRider Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Ebay, you have a much much better chance of selling it as a full bike, when I sold my top spec python, no-one wanted to buy it new, and when I decieded to split, it went within a week, but I got less for it. Yey, 1 up for the bmx :( Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakley Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 dont sell it just yet! just keep it abit longer, i think u will wanna get back into it when your bike isnt there! joE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Yeah, dont sell it, just lock it up somewhere safe and pull it out later when you get bored of bmx. Thats why I have a mint bmx (standard sta), jump bike (santa cruz chameleon) and trials bike (zoo! boa), yet only really ride trials atm. Youll kick yourself later if you decide to try trials again, cos you probably wont sell it for much more than half of the cost of a new bike, hence hundreds of wasted pounds that you could spend on beer >_< Dont sell unless youre strapped for cash >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Boy Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) Sam, i really think you would regret it if you gave up. I was thinking about selling my bike and going for dirt, but i couldn't cos' i loved trials so much and new if i did it, i would regret. Stay with trials mate!

So yeah around £700 if you split or like £600 on ebay possibly for the full build as very raraely people on here buy full builds. Im afraid as the sport is trials prices deteriorate as soon as you get them more than many other sports :S . Good luck selling B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
