Yeah, I can't shift my old 2015 Norco Sight. I'm not going to give it away, but I would have thought that $1600 was a fair price for a bike that retailed at $7,300. It will sell when it sells. Fortunately, I'm not in any hurry.
I know a guy who owns and operates a small bike repair business, what you said reminds me of what he told me last week. Customer comes in with a bike in pieces and components in boxes, said it's "almost built" and "won't take much work to complete", who should be the judge of that?
Consider splitting it into parts so you aren't competing against the other 1,000 people trying to sell complete bikes.
I have the same bike I'm about to get rid of. I think i bought it used in 2018 for like $1600. Looking at the market, (alu) would fetch about $1k but condition matters. I'm not fussed, more likely to pull it apart at this point. The brakes on it are worth half the bike I rekon lol (maybe 200km used XTs lol)
Man I hate to tell ya, but 1600 for a 10year old trail bike is still way too much.
It might well be at the moment.
I'd say most of us on RB only really sell bikes because of lack of space more than not needing it, or needing the cash. I need the space lol
Well, I'm pretty low on the leaderboard here at Rotorburn when it comes to N+1 having currently just 3 bikes, so one extra wouldn't be the end of the world.
Well, my brother borrowed it a couple of weeks back when he was getting his forks and shock serviced, and I have had the odd person send the club a message asking if there was anywhere to hire a bike locally (which there isn't) and lent them mine. So, it does come in handy.
Man that was a hard article to read, just from the literal sense it was hard to get through being so randomly done.Was just reading the below interview with 7 of the top bike importers from Flow magazine.
Interested to hear others thoughts.

Another reason I am still running the same pair of Oakleys for 5+ years. Though the coating has finally started to flake in areas, the clarity is still as good as the day I bought them.Oakley should be shut down. Their performance glasses are fucking horrendous. I've had a fair few pairs (some were given to me as part of a deal) and every single one of them had the material on the lens bubble and crackle off. The frames are only just okay. I wouldn't mind so much if they were $50 but what they are charging is other worldly. You can do without that overpriced plastic shit.
I have Smith glasses and they demolish Oakley in every sense and half the price. try them
Blame the Luxottica cartel.
I got some as a fathers day present a couple of years ago. A few months ago I left them in the garage near my damp helmet and gloves. The entire front coating has cracked and gone flaky. Never seen that happen in my life. So hard to justify getting even replacement lenses for them now.Oakley should be shut down. Their performance glasses are fucking horrendous.
