Yangmusa,

The rule of thumb re: buying used versus new bikes/ parts (assuming current model and like new condition) is the used price = about 60%-70% of new.

I found my like new Swift Xootr on Craigs List for $400 including shipping and it came with a $100 saddle plus some nice bar ends. Demand and availability are also factor. You can certainly ask more as it is easier to lower the price than to raise it!

That said if you are still thinking about selling it - let us all know what you have. I am in SF and would love to have internal gears as an option. I hate derailleurs. My fixed gear wheel set is in limbo at the mercy of the kind friend who is building the rear wheel... again.

If yours has a steel frame (I can't remember...) even better... I'd like to ride a steel frame Swift to compare the two frames.
