something interesting: Cannondale CAD 3 w/ Caramba Double Barrel and Avid Tri Align

I'm at the point with this bike where I'm wondering, should I sell it complete, or part it out.

Standard Parts:
Cannnondale CAD 3 frame
headshock fatty fork (works)
XT rear and LX front derailleur
Club Roost go fast bars
sram grip shift
mavic 220 front wheel

Special parts:
Caramba Double Barrel franks blue ano w/ really cool profile Racing chainrings
Avid tri align brakes blue ano
Avid speed dial ultimate levers blue
mysterious blue ano rear hub laced to mavic 217 rim. Unmarked hub, and no ID on it whatsoever
mysterious seat post. I've never seen one like it, but it's probably just a kalloy.
CODA branded babu bar ends

I guess that's about it. I'll get it cleaned up before I sell, but I'm wondering if I should sell with the blue parts, or pull them off and replace them with more modest period correct parts. Does $300 sound reasonable for the bike w/o blue parts?


I would appreciate any help!

I've never gotten $300 for an older Cannondale MTB. That would be quite a stretch for here. If you have a hefty parts bin, I would pull the blue parts off and replace them with regular stuff. Around here, with regular parts, that Cannondale MTB might bring $225, and the blue parts might bring $300+/- on that hated internet auction site.
