Kona Hei Hei 1991 2 owner bike with pedigree racing

[Yeti7cje]

Possibly moving my beloved Kona Hei Hei on as I don't use it much anymore.
I used to take the kids to school on it, getting plenty of attention and sometimes into the hills of Church Stretton, so minimal wear on the components (bike hoarder so plenty of choose from). To be honest I had more fun building it then time playing on it. Even tried my hand at bike of month with it (May Canadian special), so even done the show things, so it has scratched all the itches now.
All works as it should.

So what is the current value of these bikes? I saw a later version frameset only go for £1310 which nicely surprised me! I have a serious buyer but want a fair market valuation and this is the place!

Thank you for taking an interest in my rather special (IMHO) Kona Hei Hei. This bike has some great history, enjoy the read and comments welcome. History The bike was purchased new in 1991 from Stif cycles in North Yorkshire, as a custom race XC bike. Who would spend so much…, a Mr David...

Full bikes are always hard to value as depends not only on the spec but if a buyer wants that particular spec, most end up changing it.

Frame on its own is around the £750 mark though.

I saw that later frameset get what it got, and was also VERY surprised! Not sure why it achieved that - though I've often heard that later framesets are more desirable than earlier ones (it's the other way around for me), perhaps being a 17" really helped?

Edit to say, I'd have said frame only as per @mk one guidance of around £750

Complete bike - hard to see past about £1300-£1400

Agreed frameset worth around £700. Obviously there's some tasty bits on it which are worth a bit more. Including the components of the original racing set up would significant additional value imo. A racing history does add value.

Obviously, nothing to stop you using the recent sale as evidence to justify bumping up your asking price.
