just for arguments sake, let's say you walked into any bicycle retailer and told them I want 40% off the frame and groupset because you've mounted the groupset to the frame...?
Um, yes, that's how ready built bikes are priced, more or less.

No their not as that type of behaviour in the market would destabilise it, you will find across the board with every brand as seasons pass that the only thing that will devalue stock is time and the release of newer versions in order to drive the market, however, if the fame price did not reflect the respective value of the components in its current market then it would be literally ....... fucked, your basically saying a frame that costs 3 grand is 3 grand when its alone and with 3 grands worth of components, its 4 grand. You'll find when the market takes that type of behaviour, both frame and components have devalued equally due to the new direction of the market.

But I have it priced at 700 with 2 cranks. Sram red cranks still in the box. In my opinion, they are a steal, like if it was a demo groupset I would say it's different, a mounted groupset if it was unused and returned to a distributor or retail would be redistributed as new stock as long as the packaging was okay, considering I've been transparent about the whole thing and expected people of the industry to share the same perspective that the groupset would be "new". Its kinda like saying oh I'm not paying for the bike because its second hand and your definition of second hand is because it's on the bike.... just for arguments sake, let's say you walked into any bicycle retailer and told them I want 40% off the frame and groupset because you've mounted the groupset to the frame...?
Like in my mind I still say the groupset is new even though it's on a frame, so that was my reasoning f8r calling it new, even though I was calling it new I was still only looking for 700 and considering 2 cranks comes with it makes it even cheaper, I mean I cant be that far out like everyone is acting.... I feel there is a little bandwagon action going on here.... #backup 😂 @spotter read all the thread responses
