Morning...
I am considering selling my road bike... A 56cm 2013 Cannondale synaps 105.
it's only done 50 or so road miles and a handful of turbo sessions in the last year and is taking up space...
So any ideas on what it's worth? Cheers
About half - 2/3 what you paid for it. Quite a few discounts seem to be coming up, which won't help.
Yep, unfortunately you're unlikely to recoup much of your investment. You're competing against a lot of heavily discounted new old stock, and the latest models with 11 speed groupsets.
The market seems to be awash with these sort of bikes - the result of the Wiggo effect and Bike To Work schemes... Lots of bargains if you're buying but not a good time to be selling.
Here's a novel idea though, why don't you ride it? 😉

Wasn't the wiggo effect... I had a severe wrist injury which stopped me mountain biking for the majority of late 2012 and most of 2013... Now I'm mountain biking again I don't really need it...
Sorry Vader, I wasn't tarring you with the Wiggo brush! But there are an awful lot of low mileage, budget/lower-mid-range road bikes sitting unloved and unused that the owners want to cash in.
I'm a roady and mountain biker in equal measure - probably more road over the last 3 years as I've been racing and time trialling - but unless you really need the cash, I'd keep it.
I love the fact that I can get a really intense 1hr workout on the roadbike with practically no maintenance/cleaning.

No worries, I've always been mor mountain than road, but no ridinG makes vader a grumpy bugger!! And the prospect of another 2 years off the bike after the previous 2 years on and off wasn't looking fun!!!

Stopped you road riding too if you've only done 50 miles and a couple of turbo sessions 😉
