Is it a 2005 or a 2006? If it is a 2006 you could possibly get $100 - $150 out of the frame. If it is older you will probably get less. Unfortunately it is a pretty low end bike with what looks to be a very inefficient suspension design. Most people that are buying bikes in this price range would rather just buy a complete bike.

Sorry, I know this isn't what you wanted to hear.

its a 2005 and yes it does have a horrible suspension,i had the bike for a little over a month and i broke the crank already, 5th crank ive broke on a bike in my life. which sucks so im now thinking of getting a dakar frame with a fox float.

btw what do you think this is worth? https://cgi.ebay.com/Jamis-Dakar-XC-P...QQcmdZViewItem

Are you thinking about putting those components on the dakar?

If it were me I would wait and buy the complete bike. It will be much cheaper in the long run compared to replacing all of the parts one by one. On top of that I'm not sure if you can get just a Dakar frame unless you are buying second hand.

Plus, you will have much better luck selling the Diamond Back as a complete bike.
