Cannondale MTB evaluation !
Hi guys!
I'm about to do a deal and im not sure if it worth the trade .
Somebody I know offered a down hill MTB Coannondale Perp 2009 for some tools that worth about 1200 euro and I want to know if I'm getting ripped off or not . I aint going to ride the bike just because downhill is not for me ( to much investment required)
Thank you!

If you arent going to ride it then you would be able to part out the bike and sell the individual components on eBay and make well over 1200. The downside would be waiting for everything to sell in order to recoup your money. It might take a month or two to sell everything

Looks like a 2007 model with a few changed parts.

Looks massively over valued by the seller, 7 year old DH bikes are almost pre-historic in DH bike terms, even breaking, you have a lot of very old parts, not seeing €500, let alone €1200 of parts on it especially after breaking, packaging & shipping, Bombers from Marzocchi's bad period (although probably the part to get the best return on), Avid brakes, which either work or don't, 9 speed XT which is 2 generations out of date. The bolt on the rear hub looks very suspect, would walk away from this one.

Thank you! I didn't knew that is a 2007 model... he said is 2009. The bike is in a really good shape but I'm not an expert so I ain't gonna do the deal with him . There are too many drawbacks... Thanks again for your expert opinions!
