Bikes lose their value fast. The market value is probably 1/2 to 2/3 of what you think is fair.

This is just my thought from being a triathlete for the past 15 or so years... I always think 50% of current retail is a reasonable place to start on used goods and then reduce it more or add more based on age/condition and demand for product. In your case I would say a good price point to meet product demand and value would be on the low end $750 and the high end $1150, plus $50 for shipping.

Some really important considerations also to consider when thinking of price would be size and signs of damage.

Best bet is to put it on Ebay and with no reserve and see what it goes for. It will go for what it's worth. You might also check completed listings on the left hand side and seach for similar bikes.

I wouldn't let it go for less than 1500. Think about what it would cost for someone to get into this set-up...probably more than 1500. Set a reserve on Ebay! and see what happens.

I just bought that exact frame, but with better aerobars, and WAY better wheels, and same component group for $1100... so I would try for MAYBE $900.

Look on e-bay for a few weeks, and get a feel for what it might go for - you'd be surprised. Remember, you can get more for it in the spring when people want these, than in the fall.

Or part it out on the Ebay for maximum returns. A lot more headaches though.
