you've got to look at what it would cost someone to build it up compared to how much a new complete bike would be. I'm afraid that, if you set a complete build price of £400, then the frame allowance would only be about £50 max. Even going cheapo components you have:-
Wheelset - £100
Groupset - £150
Money left for frame, forks, bars, stem, seatpost, saddle, pedals etc - £150

Blimey, you only bought it a couple of weeks ago - that didn't last long!
As you say, it was a bargain so you ought to at least get your money back, and perhaps you'll make a profit.
Oops, I've just noticed that you are thinking of breaking the bike up and selling just the frame and forks.
I paid £500 for my CAAD 5 f/f but that was a few years ago and I think I paid over the odds then.
I just found this CAAD 5 f/f on eBay for £110. Not in perfect condition though, so perhaps yours would be worth, what, £150?

Thanks Colin,
yeah the bike was bought as a stop gap for my girlfriend as she was waiting for a new Cannondale Synapse. Change of plan now, as we are keeping the components and upgrading to a K speed carbon frame, the Cannondale one is too big for her so, we are looking to sell it. About £150 seems to be the general consensus,
