if you had a very very niche bike to sell, would you take a bit of a hit on it with a guarenteed sale, or risk holding onto it to hopefully sell in the future at you original hoped price.

the bike is nicher that niche...... 😀

Totally depends - how much do you need the money lost etc?

Sounds like you know you'll always take a hit on the price.

You'll always take a hit on any 2nd hand sale, guess it depends if you can take a bigger hit cos of the bikes niche-ness

the price is the price somebody will pay. The more niche the less to get the price going

Yeah, it sounds like selling is the way to go - unless the hit is too big...

Wait until late spring/ summer which will be when the sort of person who might like that for commuting would think about commuting.

I would sell it asap. those kind of things are changing daily and it'll be outdated soon.
