Also where is the best place to advertise?
Thanks
A new Speedster is $5k+. Depending on what components yours has (wheels, etc.), the size, your location (urban area vs. rural, west vs east coast), etc., I'd personally start at around $2400 or so and be willing to come down to $2,000-$2100 if you aren't having much luck. Or even $1900 if you want to move it quickly. You have a recent Ultegra 10 speed group, new rims, and the carbon fork, so it's not that far off from a current version with 11 speed drivetrain (you probably have V-brakes and not the current discs, too).
Post it locally on Craigslist first and see what traction you get. Also, CL makes posting photos easy, and you can always link back to your CL ad from other places you post.
