Touring - What is a Good Price for 2005 Trek 520

I am looking to buy a Trek 520 frame to replace the one I have now. My current frame is a 21 in. and I need a 19 in. for a better fit. I am planning on just swapping the components between frames. I have found a couple on eBay over the last several months but can remember how much they went for. I know that I saw a few posts a while back, either here or somewhere else but I can’t find them now. I would like to know what a good price is for a frame and fork only. It is a:

2005 Trek 520
Good condition
Low miles

Let me know if there are any old posts that could be useful.

Thank you

You might try posting on the For Trade sticky here in the touring forum.

I'd get a new Surly frame from the local bike shop-- it won't be all that much more money and you'll know 100% for sure that you're getting a good frame.

You can check "completed" listings on eBay. I just checked and found one frameset that went for $299; the other closed auctions were for complete bikes.

I have no idea. However, I bought a new Surly LHT frame and fork for $400, and a used Specialized Allez frame and carbon fork for $200. I felt both were acceptable prices. But what do I know? :rolleyes: Some help I am, huh?

Thanks for the tip. How do you search completed listings??

do a normal search in the bay and then when you look to the left you will see "completed listing". You have to be logged in to do this though. I don't think the feature is available if you don't have an ebay account. Good luck in your search!!
