Just wondering what my bike would be worth as I may soon be jobless and wanted to know what I could get for it if I decide to/have to sell. Ive spent a lot upgrading it, the only thing untouched is the chainset, BB and front mech.

Cheers for any sensible guidance!
nice bike mate 😆 what does it owe you would be where i would be starting! did you build it? cost it up and start from there i reckon
i would have thought with a build quality like that and weight it would do very well. not an expert but i bet £600 + for the frames age would be a good price to start it at on ebay. it would also do well split for parts. brakes forks and mechs and shifters alone must be worth a fair bit. then a carbon frame to. what were you thinking its worth like said before.
The frame used to go for £800, but I got a good deal on the whole bike, but most of the components have changed and been sold now.
Total spend on it is around £2,800!! (minus any sales of parts) but not sure if I would get that and hopefully it wont come to that either!!
Less than a grand, i sold an XTC composite with full XTR about 2 yrs ago for £850.
I should have split but was in a hurry, fact you'll make more if yer split.
Tricky, you've got to look at what you can get new.
Cube do a Reaction GTC team with Fox alps forks and full XT for £1600 or a GTC pro for £1399 with SLX and rebas.
You can get a new XTC composite 2 for £1850 not the same spec but it is a new bike.
A quick look on Ebay show 3 composite frames ranging with bids up to £250 on one, £155 on another and £96 on one with some chain suck damage.
On a good day you might get £1000, but I'd say closer to £800 for the complete bike.
You'll get more by breaking it and selling the parts separately - reckon about £1000-1200 selling the parts.
Based on my own recent experiences of selling parts I'd guess -
Fork - £250-300
Wheels - £200
Frame - £250-350
Brakes - £150
etc
shame because it looks a nice build there with a great weight/ kit set up. id try pink bike or gumtree first before ebay. save ebay and paypal feeas. also on here and a few other forums it may do well with folks that recognise quality parts rather than just seen an older bike. try also here for selling it if need be.
