What do y'all reckon is a fair price for this beauty ?
Trying to get a mate to buy it before I try the forum classifieds but don't want to scare him off with too higher price.
£1800 when new in 2007
Isaac Sonic Ltd No 059
Size 54.5cm c to c
Frame, forks and headset only.
Well under 1400grams for the lot.
Built up and used this summer only but unfortunately too big.
Only mark is a slight blemish on the toptube were the blue carbon hasn't quite worked.
IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A 52CM ISAAC LET ME KNOW

    You can get brand new carbon frames for less but they arent the quality, 3 1/2 ish years old but good condition..

    I think on ebay you wouldnt get a great price for it... The smaller name companys dont sell for anywhere near as much as the big stuff like trek and cannondale.

    Good luck, its a nice frame.

    All depends which model it is?

    Prior to the current owners there was some issues with regards to quality, can't remember what though.

    Excellent frame, stiff and they had a good reputation. I would have thought you would get up to £700 with matching forks on fleabay.

    It's a Sonic Ltd - No 059 of 499 made.
    Top of the range then.
    Was built up this summer from new so only a few months use.
    Wish I could shrink it some how !
    I'll try it in the classifieds once disamntlede if my mates wife tells him no !

    Cheers

    Is it post-recall? If it's not been recalled it's worth virtually nowt.

    i don't know about the recall issue which as napD says might kill it.

    I do know it won't be worth much. It's an obscure (though good) brand. I'd say £400 or so as well. You'd get more for your bog standard carbon specialized frame.

    I'd say 400 tops, although the Birkenstocks creeping into the picture knock another 50 quid off that...

    Bargain for someone then unless I can find a way to shrink it !
    I may just put up with a tiny stem for now.

    £400 tops and then and assault on my choice of footwear, cheers !
