I looked around for a thread to resurrect, but I just couldn't find one call ''Bob Jackson road bike, what's it worth".

Anyway, I've just been offered a bob jackson 531 (RPM's favourit) road bike, chorus 8 speed group (including hubs, headset and seatpost), 531, mavic rims, frame is sound, but a bit chipped and scratched. Not sure what saddle, cinelli bars and stem.

So, What's it worth?

Cool, I offered him £250 and he wanted more like 400. Thought that sounded too much.

£250 is a very good price, wish him luck. He'll come back to you in a while and then you can offer him £200.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
