Right,
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.

Just got a picture from hubjub which just seems to add up to the confusion, top to bottom: mavic cd, grey archetype, black archetype, the grey ano seemes actually lighter than the mavic, and the black one doesn't seem so black black.

^right, my bad.
That's pretty accurate. I have the grey ones.
Obligatory readers wives pic:
Way rad. Probably going for the black archetype and hope for the best. -
^right, my bad.
not necessarily, apollo posted a picture of completely different rims

£100 for a pinarello frame? Where are you doing your shopping-I need to go there!

I disagree with this.
I think it would sell for £300+ complete on eBay. No parts (other than the frame) are particularly sought after or valuable and postage depresses the price people will pay for your wheels.
It's a nice bike, don't put risers on it.
What size is it?<<< ...as above. -

If the shifters are 8 speed then they'll be worth £80-100. Then at least £100 for the frame, £50 wheels, etc etc. Worth splitting it, in my opinion.

This will be my geared run around town bike. Already got a FC-6500 2x9 crankset. Downtubeshifters will stay of course. Built up so far from spare parts only. It is going to be a budget built.
this is going to be so nice! wish i could commute on something like that, but to much maintenance

New cranks and saddle for the Bianchi.

Strip and rattle-can laquer a shitty generic fixie frame,
Add bog standard Shimano bottom bracket, hson wheels, foam bar grips and a cheap As stem and cranks.All made spare parts except stem and grips and chain. 20 something quid. and hopefully ideal for commuting in the rain or trips to the pub.
