Have you looked on e bay to see if any have been sold recently or offered for sale?
You may well get more for the parts than the whole.
All new comers to cycling seem to think they need a bike with disc brakes, hence selling a bike with rim brakes is tough going .
As said the market is way down . I think a lot of folk are wanting for the budget.
Disposable income is also way down .People are keeping any spare money for Christmas.
Even parting to out will take a while.
I bought a Trek last week with Shimano Ultegra group and bontrager finishing kit for £100
The present market is flooded with this type of bicycle. Supply and demand.

Well for the last 20 years I've been look to sell my racer legs have gone and now mtb offload is more challenging except my knees now need replacing so would love an emtb anyway I had this ike from new top of range last model before index gear shifting came to the fore i was only ever a fine weather cyclist as football was 1st then out of season cycling was in but has always been wrapped up with a couple of light scratches which is another story .very sad that that it would come to be disassembled for parts as it's all original in great condition. I have tried to sell a couple of times with a reserve but no takers it's nice talk with someone in the know who can advise and understand the market and the current requirements so looks like it will stay in one piece wrapped up many thanks for your input Bagpuss
