What's it worth complete? or is it better parted? Orange E3

[MR OX]

My Orange E3, 737 xt groupset with gripshift fairly original but being an E3 the frame has a crack (obviously!) was going to transfer it all onto an E2 frame I brought but I've had a change of heart & fancy something different.
I'm assuming it's worth more in bits? Any help / advice greatly recieved.

Re:

I would say worth more in parts, particularly if the frame is cracked. I've seen decent similar bikes struggle to make £200 complete sometimes, even without frame damage.

Plus that way you could keep parts you might need - e.g. pedals are always useful (nice xt on that), and if the forks are serviced and working that takes the doubt out of you buying secondhand in future (you can always change steerer diameter too)...

(registering interest in the cranks/bb if they are 170mm or shorter - sorry to be a vulture)

Re:

Many thanks, I think if I can source what I want it'll be coming apart then.
Cranks are 175.

Always worth more in bits. Would make a relatively simple transplant onto a late-ish P7 frame!
