What is my bike worth??

Hey guys, The attachment pics are of my Dave Mirra Signature 540 Air Bike from 2004? My parents got this bike for me when I was young keeping in mind that it would last me a long time and I'd eventually grow into it. Well time has come that I am now 5'11" 150lbs. and ready to use it. I've been trying to do flatland tricks, but I struggle because of the weight. I do not have a scale to tell you... but I estimate it at around 40lbs. It hinders my ability to do any stunts. I am hoping that I could sell it to put money towards a new lighter one. How much do you think it can sell for?

I will replace the handle grips and get a new front brake for it.
It Has:
metal footpedals
a large sprocket
gyro brake system
cushioned seat
4 pegs
metal rings at the end of the handles to protect the actual handle
Basically all stock parts.
other issues are the tires are about bald and there are a lot of cosmetic flaws (scratches)

Other wise the bike rides really nice. I am assuming it is supposed to be for dirt bmx considering the heavy duty build.

So... Price? I'd appreciate the feedback :thumb:

Its not worth a whole lot man, sorry. 7 years old? and the weight shouldn't have any effect on tricks at all, you just have to put more effort into them.

You won't get much out of it. $50? Throw it in a yard sale or something and put $75 or $100 on it.

T34418L3one, nice bike.

Fizzaly, haven't seen a fatboy in a long time.

Same boat. I brought my fixie to school for commutes and such, left my BMX home. So sad.

minichamp31 09-05-11 10:06 PM

Wrong bike man. How much better is a fixie than a BMX for commute? It can't be that much better, plus it's not as fun. BMX > SS > fixie.

Depends on how long the commute is for me.

Street rider 09-06-11 09:52 AM

My commute varies. Depends on what I'm doing/where I'm going. And you just have to ride fixed for a while to understand it I guess. Theres just something like a deep connection to it that feels really good

..............nothing shows up in this post, and then, only because I quoted it and found the youtube link, did I try to watch it. Nothing happens.

CbadRider 09-11-11 10:10 AM

The link and video work fine for me.

It works fine for me now too. My plug-ins were acting really dumb for a few days. Couldn't get youtube, vimeo, netflix, anything like that to work on this browser. And the bike looks pretty nice man.

Just picked this up for $100 off pinkbike:

Still brakeless at the moment, which I guess just makes it all the trendier:rolleyes: But I'm going to be getting brakes before I commit to anything too serious. On the ad, it still had some CB 50-50's that he was going to include in the $100 price!! But naturally, someone saw & offered him a pretty penny for the pedals alone :( All the same, I'm about to take her out to the local BMX track before work!

Looks pretty sick man. Have any problems with that seat rubbing on the tire at all?

None at all.

Street rider 10-02-11 07:40 PM
