hi wondering what year this is its an tarmac pro an how much it is worth

Sinn

$30

kudude

there is no hard value on a bike. just what someone is willing to pay. why do you ask?

Capgemini

i think it's 2005. not sure how much it's worth. How many miles? has it been raced before?

wfrogge

What does that have to do with the value?

HastyDeparture

A bike without pedals? I'd say it's worthless.



I'll see your $30 and raise. $35 to take that bike off your hands.

chrisvu05

come on will..we both know that if a bike has been raced before it is more likely to have been crashed. I personally don't like the idea of buying a bike that I know has been crashed. So i'd imagine it would bring the value down if it had been raced.

ridethecliche

It doesn't matter if it's been raced unless it's been crashed.

I'd buy a used race bike without thinking twice if it was in good condition and hadn't been crashed.

kudude

just because it's been raced doesn't mean you "know it's been crashed." i think that "never been raced" was something someone put in an ebay/cl ad once because that's what you do with cars, and now it has caught on. "Only driven on Sunday, never taken to the track." I matters with cars b/c you can really do some damage to a trans, for example that severely shortens its life. You racing a bike isn't going to severely shorten its life unless you break it in a crash. No "speeding up the fatigue" life.


and because I feel bad for the OP: used aluminum? bike w/ mid-level shimano wheels and either 105 or Ultegra 10spd drivetrain: If I have that right, I'd say $600-$1k, with the value varying wildly depending on where and how the transaction takes place

SushiJoe

$5
To whom should I write the check?

CastIron

The Joe the bid was at $35.

I'll give $36 but expect a discount on pedals.

redtires

I'll give you eleventy dollars and 24 3/4 cents.

Capgemini

I take the raced part back....I meant to ask if it's been crashed before...as ppl have already helped clarify.

And to get back on topic...I wouldn't know the value of the bike but I still think it's 2005.

SushiJoe

Yeah, but it will be a $5 check with my signature on it.
