edited February 2010 in Road buying advice
I am thinking of upgrading my2009 FP3 to the new Dogma, assuming I can get hold of one.

My current FP3 has Chorus 11 on it.

Is it better to sell it as a complete bike or better to strip the groupset off and sell that sperately.

Does anyone know what the Frame/complete bike would be worth?

I was thinking/hoping the complete bike would be worth £1,600 to £1,800 on the basis that a centaur FP3 recently sold on ebay for £1650.

Any advice gratefully received!

    I reckon you'd get more selling it as frame and parts - it's easier to get decent money for the individual bits than it is for the whole!

    I used to play with Jap turbo cars and found out very quickly that a car was often worth less as a whole than it was worth for it's component parts :)

    There'd be nothing wrong with putting the 11sp Chorus on a Dogma frame of course! Might save you the best part of a grand...

    Depends what size it is - if it's a 56, probably only worth £20 and I'll take it off your hands. :wink::lol:
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    Selling the fp3 frame on it's own will get you the best result. Selling the group as parts does better than as a group.

    I would keep the chorus group and put some cash into a talon handlebar.
