Sell whole or as components ?

[fossyant]

The time has come to get rid of my fixed.

Its been hung on the garage wall for nearly 4 years.

Could sell as a whole, but rims are getting worn, so sell as components as it has some good parts on it.

What to do.

Bars Ritchey WCS alloy
Stem Ritchey Pro 12cm
Cranks Generic aero alloy with Miche chainwheel
Brakes Shimano 5 series long drop dual pivot and aero levers.
Wheels Miche Express but worn rims.
Frame generic alloy fixie, same as Pearson Touche, but with my LBS name on.
Selle Italia saddle
Carbon seat post

Its taking up space and I fancy the new on-one Scandal 29er frame.

Less hassle to sell as one with proviso on rims, or split as the WCS bars are worth a few bob, as are the brakes.

Less hassle to sell as one.

That's what I'd do. If I were to build a bike then I'd enjoy it so it would be worth my time, I don't think I'd enjoy breaking one though.

Try selling whole and see how you get on. You may ge more sold as components as people do make silly bids.

Another vote for selling complete. Try it on here, there's a good market for SSs and everyone loves a bargain.
You could even swap out the more valuable parts.

I've got a few bits I could do with selling, would be a good way to finance a new frame. Got a rack and Ortlieb panniers as well.

Sell complete gets my vote

Sell complete easier to do then carry with new bike.

It’s bound to sell whole, and the buyer only needs a set of wheels, the easiest of
all upgrades, even get the wheels rebuilt.
