I've just finished servicing this Pinarello which I now need to sell.
Do you think that the bike would be worth more if I turned it into a singlespeed?
Sadly it'll probably be worth more split.
It's been a while since I was keeping track on ebay, but on a bad day I'd guess complete £150-200, where as split you should be able to get; £100 (frame) + £50 (wheels) + £100 (groupset).
But SS'ing it isn't a bad idea *if *you've got the parts - cheap risers + brake levers, or just plain old road leavers, cogs and spacer / freewheel... ideally you could bodge the chainring/set. Then you can sell the shifters and F/R derailleur (you could also sell the seatpost). If you don't have the spare parts then you may just be throwing money away.
