Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Question about bike value.

Possibly about to list a bike for sale but have very little idea of the value. It's a size 52 2009 full carbon Fuji Team. The bike has been babied and is in 99% condition. The bike will be sold as the bike only (no pedals, saddle bags, and will have carbon bottle cages removed in place of cheapo metal ones) and I'm wanting to know what I should ask for the bike. I'm not trying to make a fortune off the sale but would like to get as much as possible as I'll be funding the purchase of a replacement bike. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Marcos

There are a handful listed on eBay that should give you an idea.

Thinking about asking $1300 or so. Sound fair?

Look up "completed listings" on Ebay, not active auctions. Also, you could compare against other brands of similar quality.
