New Bike

KB8

Just ordered an Enduro Comp 09, bit pi***d at the price, up £300 from last year. Does anyone know how much approx I'd get on eBay for Comp 2008?

Cheers

depends, i was just looking at second hand prices of enduros and they have been going for about a grand on ebay, but that is for the expert, seems people dont trust the suspension, even though its good when its working.

have you got a link to the new bike?

Yeah, was well chuffed to see the Fox forks on there. Had nothing but trouble with the e150. From blown wiper seal, sloppy rebound & grating noise when returning to full travel from attitude adjust.

wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a new fork and wheel than a whole new bike?

that way you could get a decent one instead of a stretched fox 32?

I could & have considered in the past, but I don't like the idea of putting a nice shiny fork on an old bike.

I much prefer to buy a bike in one piece, hammer it, replace chain and rear cassette once, sell it on then buy a new one. You cannot beat the new bike feeling.

that is fair enough, i do like new bikes but rarely buy them brand new, the depreciation would kill me!!

It does... it does... buddy. I bought a Stumpy 07 for 1500 & got 750 through ebay & it was only 7 months old. I was raging, but it was cash in hand and he travelled nearly 500 miles to collect. Now I feel in same situation due to e150 issues, though now sorted by Spesh.

i know the feeling, i tend to buy bikes second hand then spend a fair old whack on upgrades. i never get that money back when i sell a bike on.

i only had my enduro for a week beore the fork failed on me but spesh squared t away and now it is awesome.

let ME know next time you are selling a bike on
