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.

    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 :lol:
