how old is it?

Geez, I don't recall the exact year. I'm guessing 1997. I bought it used two years ago when I first started doing tri's again. The Powerwing is the predecessor to the current Classic TT model and has the same chainstay, geometry, etc.

Hope this helps.

a bit more detail regarding components might help some as well. Obviously a Dura Ace equipped bike will sell for more than one set up with 105...drop bars...aeroo bars...what else ya got?

Additonal info about the Bike

Frame: Large Yellow Softride Powerwing 700 (Forerunner to the Classic TT Model)

Wheel Set: Spinergy Rev X (700 size)

Tires: New Continental Grand Prix 4000 (Rear tire that cost me $60) ; New Specialized S-Works (Front)

Componentry: Shimano Ultegra Rear Derailler, Unknown Front Derailler, New Ultegra chain, Shimano 600 Front and Rear Brakes, DuraAce Crank, 12-23 rear cog set with 23 cog added this year, New cables and housing, Ritchey Pro 5Nm stem, Profile Design Aerobars with bull horns.

Items to be included: Selle Italia Gel Seat, Additional Softride seat attachment to beam for individuals 6'2" or taller, Cinelli racing stem, Coda stem, Aero drink system with harness attachment to aerobars and you can have the bottle, mounted black water bottle holder included.

Essentially, I had the necessary work done to make sure I could race fast in my A race, which happened to be my only race this season. I enjoy the bike, but being that this is my first bike and I've never had a traditional frame bike before, I want to try something new. I happen to 6'0" and weight 156lbs. Yea, I'm tall and light. Simply put, I bought the bike because it looks cool and has great aerodynamics. Being a chiropractor myself, the ideal person for this bike would be anybody concerned with aerodynamics and wants something softer to ride.

Last year I sold a small size yellow, Dura Ace Powerwing on ebay. I would have been happy with $600, but the bidding went up to $1500. It was a whole bunch of years old, but had been maintained fanatically.

You would be better off starting low, with a high opening bid less people will get sucked into the bidding early. When people get sucked in early, they forget true value and their budget and they get competitive. It's a risk to go lower because you never know if people will bid, but it is worth it if a couple people get competitive.

Age of beam will be a factor too. I changed mine out after 8 years of moderate use. The newer beams are stiffer. Consider keeping it and getting a new beam. The Softrides have lost stature since 1998 - fewer dealers due to difficulty of fit. Great bike if you have 6 months to get the fit just right.
Given the age, I would be surprised if you get over $1K.
