DI2 Value?

Captainlip

I wanted a Trek 5 series frame but its not available until march which im unhappy about, the finish I want is available as a complete bike but comes with DI2 which I dont want to use, Tried DI2, love it but would rather use mechanical ultegra.

What would the DI2 fetch If I was to remove the front and rear mech, battery, and all the cables and charger for the DI2 system?

If I get this model I can get it as soon as my mountain bike sells and as soon as I get it strip off the DI2 if its worth me doing then buying the ultegra parts to complete a mechanical conversion.

do a completed sales search on ebay for di2 and it will bring up what bits sold for in the past.

I only found this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120988178610?nma=true&si=2cPyVYzbWl0NmDgtrsAFhyQ8LC8%3D&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true

but that includes cranks and brakes that wont be included.

so are we looking around £700 for the front and rear mechs, sti levers, battery and wires?

forgot to add this would be brand new as soon as the bike comes in the shop ill pull the DI2 parts off it.

I don't know the bike in question, but I assume it has the appropriate stops / holes / whatever for a mechanical groupset... worth checking before you strip it down.

Seems like a lot of hassle to get the right colour...

its the trek madone 5.9, I wanted just the frameset at 2k but they wont be instock until march with trek.

but the 5.9 is the same colour, slightly better wheels and DI2 for an extra £700, the madone 5.2 colours are abit marmite
