FS: 2014 Hoy Sa Calobra .004 (Small, Ultegra) Price Drop (£450)

Exactly as stock, so the description below fits. I'm selling due to being cash strapped (hence the low asking price, would love a quick sale) and not doing as much riding for sport as I thought (I've got a Dawes Galaxy that I ride around London and take on longer excursions).

It's in pretty solid condition, some scratches here and there (I had a very minor tumble when I was first getting used to clipless pedals). I'm about 5'8" and it fits me great.

I had it fully serviced at Two Wheels Good in Stoke Newington a few months ago and I've been keeping it clean and oiled with only a few longish rides since (just weekend rides to Cambridge, Oxford, etc). I'll throw in the Shimano 105-5800 pedals if you want them as well.

'The HOY Sa Calobra .004 features our high end thin-wall,
triple-butted 6066 aluminium frame coupled with Shimano Ultegra brakes
and 10spd gearing, and FSA compact chainset. Mavic Aksium wheels with
23C tyre's and lightweight HOY finishing kit mean this bike is
race-ready straight from the box.

The Sa Calobra is a true all-rounder that's as equally at home racing
as it is in a sportive or longer weekend ride, capable of handling
typical UK roads or Spring Classic terrain. In the saddle you will
find the Sa Calobra offers a fast, nimble ride with a confident and
reassured character, effortlessly carving through sweeping corners and
willing you to pedal faster on the open stretches. A 100% monocoque
carbon fork, thin-wall slim seat stays and a tapered top tube
maintains rider comfort while the front end of the bike retains plenty
of rigidity for power transfer and a quick handling response. The down
tube broadens into the bottom bracket area for maximum stiffness and
oversized, multi-profiled chain stays help ensure power from each
pedal stroke is transferred to the road. We have also utilized
proportional tubing through the sizes to help keep weight down and
ensure smaller frames aren't too harsh whilst the larger sizes
maintain stiffness.'

Asking £450. I can take more pics if needed. Happy to meet just about anywhere in London but somewhere around Euston/King's Cross would be easiest.

Been told to ask for a bit less. Price drop, £850.

Price drop, £800.

Hoy bikes don't hold their value at all. Ebay suggests you'll get 40% of RRP second hand

I only see one on eBay at the minute and it's a lower end model at over half its RRP. I mean it's a very good aluminium frame with Ultegra. Seems silly that it wouldn't sell for 60% RRP. (Genuinely) thanks for the advice though.

That being said, I'd be open to offers. I'd rather sell it on here (locally) than stick it on eBay.

If you think quality is what sets secondhand bike prices you're losing the battle already. Soon as you ride it deduct 50%. The next 10% is based on the name on the downtube.

Alright. Did some more research into this. Asking £700 OBO.

Right. £650 or going on ebay.

This ended up on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231985799584?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Didn't sell. Down to £500. Really needs to go.

£450

Have still got the hoy?
