Hi there,

wondering if you can help,

have a bike I'm replacing,

2006 S-Works Enduro frame
2006 Marzocchi AM1 fork
2007 Hope M4 brakes
Deore/XT drivetrain
Hope headset and stem, Easton CNT bars

My question is should I sell it as a complete bike or the parts separately? I'm aware of the rule if its a common Specialized, Trek etc sell as complete and 'rare' home builds sell as parts but this bike is somewhere between...

Thanks everyone for your time.

    generally you will make more money if you split it.

    how about you look at these parts on ebay or similar and do yor homework instead of of asking us about items we cannot even see. hmm?

    The question wasn't how much, but is it better to split or sell as a whole :wink:

    Jesus_Christ, the problem is I can find the selling price of the seperate parts very easily but I cannot find the selling price of the complete bike because another one like does not exist, that is my exact question.

    then this is a 'how much is it worth' thread and banned under the rules of the forum.

    a bike is only worth what somebody will pay for it. there are no hard and fast rules.

    I just sold a set of forks for £72 and bought a set almost identical for £100.
