    Hi guys!

    Just wondering if someone could give me an idea of what my bike is worth.

    It's a 2009 Trek Madone 6.9 made from 600 series OCLV carbon. Bike recieved a custom paint job previous owner due to personal preference. When new , they were €6,600 but many of the components aren't original and obviously it's quite old.
    Shifters , front + rear mech , casette and chain are Shimano 105 5800 and have barely been used and brakes are Axis 1.0. Saddle is Planet X superlight team saddle, stem is 3T and bars are Fsa. Crankset is Sram Gxp and wheels are Mavic Cosmic Sl 52mm clincher in excellent condition.
    Bicyclebluebook.com give values on all bikes and you can customise it for whatever components on your bike are not original but I'd like an opinion from some people on here.

    Thanks

    Shop around online and see what's the cheapest new, full carbon bike with Shimano 105 components You can find. I suspect you'll pick one up for €1500-€2000 new (maybe cheaper). I also think the custom paint job may actually devalue the bike.

    Have a look on adverts.ie and see what other bikes are selling for.

    In my opinion 7/8/900 would be purchase price depending on size and condition.

    There's some serious value out there at the moment.

    It's a superbike frame with relatively crap parts, which is a shame. IMO top-end frame tech hasn't changed that much since 2009, and bikes have gotten more expensive.

    I'd say price depends a lot on the state of the frame. Pics?
