Do I sell the Spesh Roubaix?

[ianrauk]

What would a 9,000 mile roubaix fetch these days?

Dunno... probs best to split it as the Ultegra groupset is near mint.

If its substantial...like over a grand, then I guess I see the logic...not that you want the cash but it is tied upbin something you just don't use.

I had a second motorbike that I kept for 2 years and never rode, so id say ...despite the emotion of eviscerating your trusty, loyal and loving steed...then flogging her body parts to the highest bidder...it makes sense to let it go.

But I have still voted to keep the poor old girl.

I recall when the tarmac changed to a longer head tube to be more roubaix-like and the Roubaix head tube went intergalactic. Someone mentioned above it looks like a hyena and I agree, but more due to the long head tube than the tires. I cri be whenever I see one up close (bike, not hyena, but I'm sure hyena will have a more profound effect).

You could buy a new frame, transfer most of the bits onto it and then sell the Roubaix frameset. Probably the least cost option.

To be honest, I'm not fussed about costings. I would rather sell as is as it would give someone a really nice complete bike that they would enjoy riding as much as I did. I may just break it down, keep the frame and sell all the components.

Get a custom Ti disc frame @ianrauk from cielo rosso like i did and build it up with the components of your choice

That's looking like it's the way to go. I'm looking more for a road style frame rather then a Sportive, touring etc

Mines a road style frame with disc mounts and 13.5cm headtube

As lovely as your bike is, it's not for me.

Sell it complete then. If you're not riding it now what's the point in hanging onto the frame? Will you ever build it up again, or will it just gather dust and depreciate? In five years time you'll struggle to give it away!

I voted no. But unlike you, I'm attached to mine.....

 

[slowmotion]

I'm sorry to break the bad news but nobody will buy it with that sh#tty blue bar tape and the blue tyres. Just trying to be helpful.....

Why not? Any reason?

Yup, don't like the styling of the rear seat & chain stay's.
