Hi everyone - apologies for jumping straight in on this thread with a first post but hope you can help me with a dilemma about my bike.
Haven't ridden now for several years and she's been sat in the shed which seems awfully sad for what was my pride and joy. Thanks to a chap at work who pointed me at this site I have been trawling the pages with a nostalgic smile of days past when I could name every component. What a brilliant place. Old bikes never die......
So with this in mind should I be thinking of selling my Trek Y33 ? If its not worth much these days then I'll keep it but now my idea of a bike ride is along a flat trail keeping up with my 5 year old ! I was looking at getting a hybrid like a Specialised Crossroads or something similar so if my Trek is worth similar money then it would be up for sale (or swap).
So here goes.
Trek Y33 from 1996 - original Strata Shock replaced with O2 air/oil 2009 and rear triangle bearing/bushes replaced at same time
Pace RC36 Evo (Pro Class?) forks
mostly XT groupset V-brake etc , XTR rear mech, LX chainset
Hope Titanium hubs, Mavic rims X517 (front is Ceramic), Richey WCS kevlar tyres
X-lite titanium handlebar, Control Stix bar ends, Onza grips, Bontrager stem
Control Tech seatpost, Flite saddle has been replaced in 2009 with a more padded titanium rail saddle which I can't remeber the name of !
GoreTex Ride-On cables
Thats about it ? The whole bike is very light ~ 25lbs and was used for recreational cross country riding never raced - I was too slow ! - and still rides beautifully today, everything is in perfect working order.
I really have no idea what value it is as early Y series bikes seem pretty rare and those I have seen are standard so I would greatly appreciate some wisdom.
Many thanks.
