Help with pricing a De Rosa Dual 2006?

Hi guys.
Sorry if this isn't the right space for this, but I couldn't see any threads that matched this sort of query.

I have a recently updated De Rosa Dual HF and I'm thinking of selling it to upgrade. The problem is that I don't know how much to put it on sale for.

This is a lovely bike. Dual paint scheme. Carbon rear. Campagnolo Veloce groupset, carbon forks, Mavic askium race wheels, ITM cabon seatpost, Fizik Arione Kium seat, Deda carbon stem etc etc. Really good condition and it rides splendidly. Many of the components are brand new.

I know these bikes keep their value a bit as they're pretty rare, but this is exactly why I don't know what to price it at or where to sell it.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Who said it would hold it's value? If it was steel, carbon or titanium certainly to a degree but the lightweight alloy frames of that era don't really have much demand in the current marketplace - if you want to make the most money, then it's probably worth more in bits - you may get £300+ for the frame from a DeRosa afficianado who will likely want to fit contemporary Record or Chorus, but only £200 more for the whole bike due to the low-spec.

Thanks for the response. Very helpful - if not a little depressing
I'm new to Italian road bikes. Shame really as I originally bought the bike for £400 and spent close to £200 on new parts. You live and learn eh.

Maybe I'll just have to keep it!
