    Any chance of repeating that using punctuation?

    Slow down, take a deep breath, and maybe add some punctuation.

    A picture or a few would help.

    As for value - not a lot.

    The grey frame with black swing arm model is from 2008, I believe.
    It only cost about £350 new so is worth very little now.

    Although if you've never ridden a decent bike then not sure how you know that they do the same job?

    Yes it can be done, but I personally wouldn't want to take a £350 bike round Hadleigh Olympic Course or red trails in Wales etc.

    ps. I think 'nailing' bikes is illegal.

    Have a go at using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.
    Go on. People* might stop thinking you're a moron if you do.

    *Maybe not all people, but certainly some.
