W/O pedals this bike weighs 14 lb 8 oz. I'm asking $2500. Both bikes are in excellent condition and really nice to ride. I just have too many bikes. Six actually, including a Masi Gran Criterium S, CAAD 12 and a Canyon Aeroad to go with my Colnago World Cup cross bike. So far, not one bit of interest. Is the market dead? Are my prices too high? Is it that no one knows GURU?
To sum up what others have said, you're asking too much. Used bikes are worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for them, and if you're not getting offers, it's because they're priced too high. 10 speed means they are well over a decade old.. Inflation alone would discount the bikes by 35% from retail, and then cut that at least in half due to age and use. Was that bike you're asking $2500 for $7,000 new?
