The one and only "HOW MUCH IS MY xyz WORTH" thread

Specialised Ground Control A1 - Valuation?

Sorry!

I think I should have put this request in here! javascript:emoticon('')

I have the option to buy a 1997 Specialised Ground Control A1 and I need to have some idea of what to offer without offending.

I don't have any photos of the actual bike yet (soon hopefully) but it is very much like the attached in colour scheme and equipment. I think this one went for around £200.

If anyone has any ideas I would be really grateful!

I have an offroad sport bike and would like to know what it might be worth.
A friend put me onto this site.
I cant find anything about the particular model.
I have had it for around ten years and bought it used.
The frame is blue with Offroad and Sport on it.
There is a label on it that says "Guarenteed built with LT. WT. competition quality 4130 Butted 3 main tubes"
Another label says made in Taiwan
The forks are white and on each is "CR-MO 4130"
It has paddle type gears "STI Shimano total integration"
The flexstem just says on it "flexstem offroad"
The handlebar grips have a "Ritchey" logo indented in them.

You might be able to tell that I'm no expert.

It's not in mint condition some surface rust in a couple of places but looks restorable and it rides fine.

I'm hoping to be told it's very rare! but I would like to know how much it might be worth. I've bought a new bike so it has to go
Any advice welcome please.
I can post photos soon when I've wiped it down

Here are the photos, a ball park figure would be great and I can put it in the classifieds here or on Ebay

Klein 1994 Unicrown fork in NEW condition

Hi all,

Wondering what the value of this fork might be. I'm the original owner and it's from a 20" Klein Attitude in moonrise linear fade. My Attitude was also equipped from the factory with a painted-to-match RockShox Mag 21SL and was unfortunately stolen. I've had this other fork in a box and am considering selling it in the quest of getting another rigid fork Klein MTB. The fork has NO dents, NO scratches - it has never even had a quick release clamp the dropouts. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Jeff

sorry to ask this, i have tried searching on here but to no avail.

my mate said to ask on here as this is the place where the people have knowledge onions.

i am selling these 2 forks, how much should i be asking (more interested in the manitous), both would probably benefit from a service i guess, the mantiou answer4's are 'living in the shed' condition, the judys are pretty good but a few years old, i would have thought by now such an item would need a service.

all i know for certain is that the elastomers on the manitous are fairly solid but there is some travel still, atleast 1"+.



thanks!

Re: 2 old Konas and a Sepcialzed

OK what do you guys reckon on these value wise. I want to sell them but as I do not know what to ask for them I would not be able to put a price in the for sale posting.

1990 Fire Mountain

1989 Cindercone

Late 90's Specialized Rockhopper A1 FS

I'm interested in opinions for these bikes

I would imagine but i may be way off the mark

if you have original parts to put back on

FMountain - £300

CCone - £350

RH - £ no idea

I might be a bit optimistic

Offroad Sport

I have an offroad sport bike and would like to know what it might be worth.

Hi, Can anyone give me a ballpark figure on the Offroad sport ? (full post and photo's above)
I'd really like to put it in the classifieds here rather than ebay but can't without a price.
As far as I can gather its one of the first c 1988 ?
