Yes I sold it really cheap acknowleding that the fork was an upgrade as were all the components (yes 9 sp XTR). It also had really nice wheels which I probably could have gotten $500 for and other "blingy" stuff. I did sell it to a friend of a friend who needed a bike. But point is, I am not unique. My BF sold his 2006 Santa Cruz Superlight with many upgrades, last year for $800. He just needed cash to buy parts for a new bike. JUst have to be patience... deals are out there...
