Question: Selling Kelly Cyclocross Bike

[kerrycycle]

Question for all you out there who have bought & sold a lot of components. I have a Kelly Knobby X steel frame that I built up a couple of years ago to get into cross. I built it up with DA-9 (wider rear cassette spacing), ITM cockpit, Mavic Ksyrium SSL tubulars, Fizik Arionne saddle, and TRP EuroX cantilever breaks. This is a good CX bike to say the least. Unfortunately & fortunately, life just doesn't afford me the time to race anymore and I would like to pass the bike along to someone who will get some good use out of a great frame.

This begs the question: should I sell the components individually or as a single bike? Thoughts?

Typically, parting a bike out will result in more dollars to the seller.

I agree with Dave. Selling bit by bit is more work, but in the end, you'll get more money for your stuff.

I've sold a lot of cross frames, if you can wait until August the market heats up a lot better. I agree with other about selling as parts, I'd hold off on the cross specific parts until closer to the season and sell all the road stuff now.

Those frames seem popular with people, you should get a decent price for it

Effective top tube looks to measure 55 cm.

Did you ever sell this? I know some folks who would want it if you have not.
