|   How much is this bike worth? | Fabulous
Jan 12, 2002 2:11 PM | | Here are the specs. All parts are 2001. The bike was custom built and maintained by a shop mechanic, and literally tuned after every ride.
Silver Azonic DS1 frame w/ red Manitou SX-R fork
LX cranks/BB/shifters/derailleurs, teflon cables/housing, Kore Chain Reactor chain tensioner
XT cassette and SRAM PC-99 chain
SRAM disc convertible hubs laced to mavic x517 CD rims w/double butted DT spokes and gold anodized alloy nipples, blue Salsa skewers
Avid SD7 levers, SD7 rear brake, CPS mechanical front disc w/teflon cable and housing
black Kalloy Seraph seatpost (much better quality than the Uno line, butted 7000 series Al and lighter than Thomson) and Selle Italia Oktavia saddle w/ blue Salsa seat skewer
blue FSA UF orbit headset, Profile Design Stiffy stem, Bontrager Crowbar Race handlebar, grey Oury grips
Bontrager Revolt Super-X tires
No pedals
Thanks in advance for the input, I built this up for XC then ended up getting into trials and so I never ride it, except to commute to and from school, which is obviously a waste. It's only seen the trails once, and a few hours worth of urban assault. Everything's in very good condition, except for a few cosmetic scratches on the frame and crank. Drivetrain hasn't even begun to wear yet.
Thanks-

For a bike you built up, it's probably more like 1/3 to 1/2 of what you paid for the frame and all the parts. In your case, I'd quess you'd be talking about $350 - 500, or maybe a bit higher if you can find a buyer who understands what he's looking at.
Depressing, isn't it?
