    Hah, actually 350-450 would be about right.

    I assumed that's what you meant. 350-450 about right. If it's in PERFECT nick then maybe up to 500.

    Ah, in that case it's worth considerably more.

    Seriously the colour will have nothing to do with its value, I think Colin may have been pulling your chain, the tinker :wink:

    As others have said I would look to pay £400 to £500 for that bike.

    There was no way I was going to pay that was trying to find out what I should be paying for it as I have no idea what they are worth, I am not selling anything!

    Probably need to know the full spec, if it has some of those 50mm carbon faired alloy clinchers that could detract from the value.

    Does it have the go faster 'S Works' decals on the frame...?

    They seem to bump the price up by 50% or so.

    That's because they're 50% faster than a non s-works bike.

    Wow, on the strength of that, I've bid on an S Works Tarmac on Ebay.

    Should it transpire it's not 50% faster than my Allez, i'm not gonna be happy. :x

    Ok, I'm no longer buying an S Works Tarmac frame.

    Someone has come along and bid more than me. I hate it when that happens on Ebay. :roll:

    Complain - nobody else EVER bids on ebay other than Shill bidders!! Then again you could let them have it and then bid lower when the seller has to relist it!! :wink:

    How much are they, was it, new? If its in good nick pay half. There is a glut of Specialized bikes around so its a buyers market.
    Pegoretti
    Colnago
    Cervelo
    Campagnolo
