    TBH just about all forums hate "what is it worth" look on Ebay and other places to see what similar bikes are going for.

    But at the end of the day it is only worth whatever money you get for it.

    yer thought so. already done the ebay thing. the main thing i was gonna ask was is it better to sell whole or splitting it down?

    Splitting usually gets more money.

    ie do as a frame kit with headset, seatpost and clamp. Then maybe package items up to save faffing ie mechs and shifter.

    thanks that sounds best idea. one last question i promise. my frame kona dawg came with afox vannila coil rear shock which was been replaced with a rp23. do you recon its best to fit the old rear shock to be sold with frame as its worthless by its self and sell rp23 seperate hoping some one is after that lenght or leave 23 on? thanks

    Give the buyer of the frame the choice.

    i wouldn't have said the shock was worthless by itself, not worth loads perhaps, but people will buy it.
