He hasn't rode it in 10 years and in the last few I have tried to by it from him. well today he told me he wants to sell it. can someone tell me what a fair price would be. I don't want to give him too little but I also don't want to pay too much.. I thank you in advance for your help
That model has a bit of a following, so the prices on it tend to be a little inflated. They usually sell anywhere between $250-$400 (before shipping), with 'mint' examples selling at the higher end. However, this time of year, it's likely it would sell on ebay for a bit less.
What component group does it have?
There's a
red 3.0 on ebay now, built on an NOS frameset, with Suntour Sprint 9000 components, for $275 BIN. (I think this belongs to a BF member). In my opinion, that's a very good price, especially for the component group...I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet.
