Hey All!
Have one of the last Ridgeback Solo's (56cm). Its served me well but I'm moving on. As it is still running all original parts it's in need of some new parts (chain, freewheel, BB) and a general tidy up if I'm to sell it on as a whole bike. I do all cycle work myself so no labour costs. Is it worth doing up and selling on as a whole bike (do up on cheap/do up with quality parts and add value)? Or stripping it to frame/fork/headset combo and then sell the Sugino cranks, brakes etc separately on somewhere like eBay? I wouldn't want to sling a cheap BB in there to pass on as if I were replacing it for myself then something decent (Sugino 103mm) would be fitted. Not sure if I'd be wasting my money in buying decent parts, fitting and selling on.
Anyone had any experience? Thoughts?
Cheers
DC.
