I've got a Commencal Meta 5.2 frame from 2005/6 in the garage that I intended to get resprayed and built back up but I've now bought a 29er. Thing is its not perfect , it has a dent in the top tube that happened when it was only a few months old when it fell over and hit a plant pot ! It obviously never caused it any problems as I've ridden it like this for 6 years. It could do with new bearings , £30 on eBay , and its obviously got some chips and scratches but its been an excellent bike.
I could get it resprayed and fit new bearings but I would rather not hide anything and leave that choice to someone else.
Its a small and has a RP3 shock
What do we think its worth ? Pics below .

£50 mate. It's 7 years old with a dent in it and knackered bearings.

£150-200 with new bearings and a wash and polish, as it stands not a lot..
Edit, just seen the pic of the dent, £100-150, sorry..

Probably worth £50 for the rear end for someone that needs a replacement after cracking their own and £60-70 for the shock.

Sell the fox and throw the frame on eBay , it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

I've a very similar bike here. 07 Meta 55. It's got a crack under the downtube/headtube weld. I assumed it was worth more or less nothing and bought a couple of brackets and mounted it on the office wall. It looks quite nice up there.
