I have a road bike that I need to sell to fund work on my house. I haven't actually touched a bike in probably 3 years so I have no idea how much anything's worth or if I should sell the bike or break for parts!

Its got the following spec:
Cannondale Supersix Evo frame (I think the year is 2014) - this is cosmetically pretty bad with loads of paint chips which is why I'm considering breaking
Ultegra 6800 groupset with 11-28 cassette (except for SRAM red 22 crankset 53/39 due to BB30)
Cycle clinic BORG31 aero wheel set with new schwalbe pro one tubeless tyres

Any ideas what I should do with it - and how much I can expect to get for it?
Thanks

    Not a lot if it’s all from 2014.

    The groupset and wheels are from 2017 so a bit newer, another reason I thought it might be good to sell it separately

    In that case I would go separately given the shortage of parts at the moment. Plus a tatty looking 7 year old frame is likely to put people off.
    However I still think you are not going to get much other than a few tins of Farrow and Ball paint out of the sale.

    Mmmhh... Supersix... is it the high modulus one? What size?
    I am actually interested in a tatty frame... chiefly because presumably you want a lot less than a pristine one?

    I’ll give you £500 for the lot. Where are you based?

    its a 58cm, yes would sell for a lot less than a good looking one.

    I'm looking for a bike but the prices on eBay are ridiculous plus I'd need it shipping. Do you still have it ? Is it listed anywhere?
