hi, i'm trying to figure out a reasonable price to sell my iro, wondering what you all think.

here are the details:

- black 53cm iro angus (no studs for water bottle) frame/fork
- dura ace headset (hp-7410)
- 36 hole silver deep v's on miche primato pista HF hubs (built by the nice people at montanovelo)
- miche primato pista 165mm cranks w/ mich 46tooth chainring and miche bb
- kmc kool chain
- dura ace aero seat post
- black deda murex stem
- cheapo bontrager risers

The frame has paint chips here and there from messenging with the bike but otherwise the bike is in good shape.

thanks for the help

400-500

it's sad to say, but this is probably all you'd get for it--and i think you'd be lucky to get that much.

the wheelset and crankset probably cost you as much as what you'd be able to sell it for.

if i were you, i'd swap out the wheels, cranks, and seat post--you'd probably still get the same amount of money for it if you sold it on ebay. my limited knowledge tells me that most people who browse ebay to buy a complete bike are just looking for something that can ride--not necessarily high quality parts.

was hoping to selling it locally, and was hoping to get more, but maybe this is because i am asking informed people, and they are giving me the number close to what they would pay.

my estimate is correct. i wouldn't pay $200 for your bike, but probably 4-500 is a fair market value for the bike, although you probably have over 1200 into it..

put it up on craigslist for $800 or whatever you want to get for it, then guage the response. if you get a buyer great, if not, just keep droppin the price until you do... or part it out...
