Hi. I'm in a bit of a quandary over my Fire Mountain. It's been an ongoing project for a couple of years, and has been a rider for a couple of weeks now. Today I rode just under 20 miles on it, on road/off road style, linking up trails by riding short road sections between them. I had an absolute blast on it, can't believe how well a base model 24 year old Kona rides.
Obviously I'm rather attached to it already, but earlier on this year I bought a Genesis Latitude frame. I've been collecting parts for it ever since; Fox forks, transmission only SLX groupset, Bontrager wheels and tyres. Just need brakes, headset and finishing kit.
My question is, what's the Fire Mountain worth? Since I bought the Latitude frame, I planned to build up the Kona purely to sell it on to raise some cash. However, I'm now thinking that if it isn't worth a great deal, say around the £100 mark, I'd rather hang on to it. I could do with the extra space though, so if it's worth significantly more then I might well move it on, although it'll be a bit of a wrench to sell it. I'm too much of a Luddite to post a link to the build thread, but here's a couple of pics.
Regards
Marge
