I may be purchasing an S-works carbon epic frame x mas.

This will directly replace my Marin Indian Fire Trail.

The frame is in mint condition apart from a 1mm x 1mm mark on the top tube (you would have to be very anal to worry about it - even me :lol: )

It's M6 alloy - weighs next to nothing and is an 07 model. Size 17.5"

I am not trying to sell this on here (before it gets moved) - but wanted to get peoples opinions on how much it would go for.

You can't buy these frames and (bar the titanium frame) they are top of the range and super light.

Thanks guys!

    auction it on ebay, and give us the link, ill have a punt on it.
  • to be honest think thats what I shall do - am hoping to get about £500 for it so will stick a reserve for £350 on it (hopefully that won't put people off) :wink:

    You can't do that! Your Marin is absolutely beautiful Cheesey!

    As it's a race bike I can't justify another build and as much as I love the Marin I have always loved these frames!

    OK, seeing as how gorgeous that Spesh frame is I suppose I can let you sell it...

  • Can't believe you're flogging that frame Cheesey. Can't tell you how many times i've checked that bike out.

    Do yourself a favour and stick another 50 on the reserve price. You know you'd be gutted if it went for 350-that would be a piss take.

    have you thought about doing it through your LBS's website? I know some do it well.

  • wow £500 :shock: i didnt realise the frames were worth that much. Im looking to sell mine too but not sure on the value...
    i love the white frame though cheesy, pm the ebay link if u do put it up.
  • Uh-oh..
    Do not post "How much is it worth?" topics. If you want to know, look on other sites for a benchmark.

    Dot 4 in the eye hurts. Trust me
  • yeah but to be fair, i have looked for the value for marin frames, cant find anything on other sites....
  • where did the voice of the gods come from? :lol:

    Sorry - just asking and as mentioned as Marin don't sell frames its impossible to determine how much to value it at.... but apologies nonetheless :wink:

    Yep they can go for that much I guess - its top of the drawer Marin frameworks - just that I am in love with s works kit - otherwise I wouldn't sell it... :wink:
