Hey everyone,

I'm trying to get a better idea of what this bike is worth. In superb condition with barely any miles on it what would you suggest a 2009 Specialized Tricross Comp would be worth these days? I'm posting here because its a cyclocross bike, so hopefully this is the right forum. Thanks for your input.

I would say $800. I saw new 2011 on sale in the fall for less than $1500. This is two years older and it's also not the cross season

New old stock never ridden or Used and have a worn parts repair in front of you?

The specs on that bike are pretty nice. If it's really in near mint condition and has all the original parts, I might go as high as $1000 if it was a comfortable fit.

The price also depends heavily on your local market.

To give you a point of comparison, last winter I paid $900 for a 2008 Kona Major Jake. It had a mediocre but solid wheelset (not the Ksyriums spec'd on this model) and dimples in the top tube, but it had a Chris King headset, Ultegra shifters (scuffed but working) and 105 derailleurs and a nice AlphaQ CX20 fork. I was also buying it from a local shop which had given it a complete mechanical inspection and I expected they'd stand behind their word that the top tube dimples wouldn't be a structural problem.
