Koga Miyata Ridgerunner with XTR and Rock Shox SL Ti

[astonia]

Hi all,

A long time ago aprox. 25 year I bought my first mtb, a koga Miyata with Shimana SLX. After one year the frame broke and I was able with some extra money to buy a Ridgerunner frame. Because the SLX group was not so well, I also upgrade the Ridgerunner with the first Shimano XTR group. Around that time this was 8-speed. The ridged fork was too hard, even for the flat Netherlands, so I also ordered a Rock Shock SL Ti fork. During this period there was a great shop in the north of the Netherlands, I think it was called Bikepride. They imported great parts from the USA. With the new aheadset I also ordered a Ringle stem, a Footwork bearings and a footwork brakebooster. The tyres where IRC Phiranha.

I enjoyed riding this bike a lot. But a few years ago i made some changes. Bought a new set of wheels and added a Syncross bar and stem.
Here are some pic's from before the update:








At this moment I want to sell the bike with all the parts. The originaal wheels, the new wheels, etc. My question is, does anybody has experience in selling their bikes international incl. shipping?

Thank you for your help

Re:

Nice bike! The owner of Bike Pride is active here as well on retrobike.

If I were you, I would invest some time in splitting the bike in parts and advertise these parts separately. We can help you value them. That would fetch a considerable lot more that the EUR325 you are asking for the bike on Marktplaats.

I just offered your asking price via marktplaats. My size, good condition and as I remember correctly I had allmost bought it a year or 4 ago..

@Troje: Do you also know if Bike Pride has a new shop, or is it closed? I cannot find anything with google.

@Martin: I had a busy evening with meetings so I have to check the emails and voicemails. I'm surprised of all the reactions

Thanks are for the reactions!

No new shop, but he has a facebook account under that name - and some distant plans to revive the Bike Pride name in some way. If you google on bike pride of europe and facebook, you'll get there.
