The one and only "HOW MUCH IS MY xyz WORTH" thread

[clockworkgazz]

Hi,

I've found an old stump jumper from late 80's / early 90's that I want to buy.

Good bits are Shimano Xt everything and pace forks. Wheels are cheap replacements however. Overall condition a bit tired and tatty but ultimately sound. No pictures unfortunately.

How much should I offer the owner? What is a fair price?

Plan would be to rebuild it to single speed selling off the XT bits I don't need. So want something light and strong.

Thanks.

£150-£200 if the forks work.

Pace RC35 MXCD

Go on then. How much for a minty pair of 1995 RC35 MXCDs chaps..?

There's barely a mark on them. 1.1/8th threadless steerer approx. 200-210mm long.

Seen thek go up to £90-£100 on here before.

I had a figure of £110 posted in mind so we'll see how it goes. If they're as mint as they look in the photos then I think they're worth the top end

Ahh...thanks but I should have said the forks are rigid. So RC30/31??

Was thinking ~£100?

First time I gone the retro bike route.

Which ones are they?
In very good condition RC31 can go for up to £120 RC31 Ti £150
RC30 are more like £100 I think (don't often see them), considering the age of the bike I think it'll be 1" RC30.

92 Zinn Centaur

I may have to part with this lovely 92 Zinn. Ive replaced afew bits since these pictures with NOS genuine parts. How much realistically can i ask for the complete bike?

 

[slimjoe]

any ideas

anyone got a suggestion on a value on the Zinn?

 

[clockworkgazz]

not sure but if you want top dollar would ebay not be your friend?

If not, what did you pay for it and getting it to its current condition? Add a reasonable profit margin and set the price yourself?
