Do I sell the Spesh Roubaix?

[ianrauk]

If it means getting something shiny and new, then definitely.

It still is very shiny

 

[Wafer]

but shinier!

i have said yes but beware of ever decreasing second hand bike prices.......when I sold my tarmac and Sabbath, I didn't get anywhere near what I wanted for them

 

[Hicky]

Its too clean and cannot possibly be rode......no pedals see
Van nic.....everything else is pish

 

[Mike!]

I honestly think (being serious now) that a lot of bikes would sell for more if broken. Sad really :-(

If you do @ianrauk I would be interested in the Crankset for sure!!

Never sell a bike....no matter how knobbly kneed.

It needs to be ridden bud.. and I ain't riding it at the moment...

Seat like a razor blade, get yourself a nice gentlemans bike with a step through frame and proper mudguards and a cover for the rear wheel and chain so you don't get your overcoat caught and come a cropper.

2 questions, have you got the room to keep it and a new carbon & disc flyer? Will the earache from Mrs Ian be worth it to keep the old love and get a new friend?

 

[Hill Wimp]

No frame it. It's too smart to sell.

But still buy a new one anyway

Yes I have my own bike shed. Mrs Ian never gives me earache about cycling and how many bikes I have either bless 'er.
As I said the reason I am looking to sell is that it does deserve to be ridden and I'm not riding it. I would buy a new one even if I didn't sell it. I'm not one either for 'old love' and sentimental stuff. To me they are just bikes, lovely as they may be. I loved riding it, I now love riding my Van Nic. If I got a new bike then the Van Nic would no doubt be relegated to spider web collecting duties too.

Sell sell sell

 

[vickster]

Yes for something that doesn't say Specialized and isn't black

But why would you ride a disc brake model more that that if you like riding the van nic?

Yeah I'm fully aware of that Jowwy mate and would take it into consideration. The best bet is to probably break it down and sell the components. The Ultegra group set has had hardly any use since put on.
