Hi all,
First I know these kinds of questions have come up before. Most seemed to be older than this pandemic and with todays market I wonder if the responses might be different. Basically what do you recommend in todays market?
I am just getting back into riding and have now made the jump into 29" bikes. Now I am sitting here trying to figure out the best method to sell my old 26" wheeled hardtail. I don't expect top dollar or what not, just looking to maximize what I can get out of it and its parts. The bike is a 2007 Scott Reflex. It has a mix of Deore, LX and XTR for the drivetrain. Front and rear XT 4 piston brakes. XT rotors. Chris King wheelset. Monkey Lite bars. I left the hose on the longer side for the rear brake but I may have cut the front hose on the shorter side to where it will be best suited on a shorter travel fork or replace the hose.
Anyways, with these kinds of parts I am thinking I should part out but is the hassle worth the squeeze. I still have the original Deore wheelset that can go back on and the LX/Deore drivetrain items that could also go back on. The brakes I had to replace and threw the old ones out.
What would you recommend?
