Hi,

I’ve been looking for a good one of these for a while and have come across a black one with spinergy zero lite wheels and old 10spd groupset for 595
The Frame looks spot on, gearing is what it is but I’m not sure about the wheels.
Is the price about right for this bike and are the wheels any good?

Tia

    A 10 year old bike for £595..?? Absolutely not. Unless you are determined to buy an 08 Onyx - in which case, the wheels don't really matter anyway...

    Spinergy wheels were (not sure on that exact model) made with mostly proprietary parts which more than likely you can't buy anymore. I'd basically assume they are scrap (along with the groupset) and base the value of the bike on just the frame.

    Cheers for the reply, to be honest would rather just get the frame and build it up it’s full carbon so is 150-250 reasonable don’t want to insult people but deal got to be right for both

    US based site suggests a 2008 Orbea Onix in "Excellent" condition is worth between $364 and $375. An average in GBP would work out at £290 for the complete bike

    That should give you a ball park to work from in your negotiations. Your figure of £150 for the frame/fork is closer to the mark.
