Carrera Subway 2

[david k]

thinking of buying a mountain bike, I already have 3 and I really need to make space

Any ideas how sellable my subway would be? It's about 5 years old but well looked after and recently services with new chain and cassette

I think it's a 22" frame, I'm 6'2" and it's ideal for me

£100 maybe?
Stick on eBay as a BIN and best offer, see what you get

Service, chain, cassette expected, won't add value but might make it easier to sell

Thanks, shame it's only worth 100 as it's a better bike than that price suggests, and I'd rather have the bike than 100 but it's probably more to do with storage than the money, may as well have something towards a new bike than nothing eh

Sells easier with courier option offered

I am in a similar situation https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/how-to-fit-n-1-bikes-in-a-shed.222937/

Take the pedals off, turn the bars in, and use it as a bike lock for the other bikes to lock to.
You can even remove the front wheel and buy a cheap rack lock thing (quick look found this: https://www.merlincycles.com/delta-bike-hitch-103368.html) and that will keep it a bit more stable. Then you could try sticking the front wheel (if you have backups with the same rotors) on bumtree for >10% of the whole bike sale. You might get £25? with rotors and tyres? Someone can suggest.

Buy hooks like these: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/x-tools-threaded-storage-hooks-black-one-size and hang it somewhere nobody would think to look.

Hide it at work and cycle around in your lunchbreaks.

Sell it to someone who you would enjoy cycling with.

If you do sell it, I don't think the guards and pannier rack/cage/barends would change the price more than they would cost to replace - so don't feel you have to sell it as is. Stick some crappy pedals if you have any - unless they are pretty great, they will either be ignored or replaced anyway.

Haha. "Bumtree". How did I type or autocorrect that?! Must have been a Freudian slit.
