How much should I ask for this mountain bike?
joe a asked:
I have a 98 Trek 7000 Mountain bike with full Deore XT, Ti liberator saddle, USE shokpost, Judy XC fork with "air ride" internals, Mavic 217 rims and Bontrager Crowbar with Icon stem, and Time ATAC pedals. It's very tricked out but so old! Frame is clean with few if any scratches. I'd say it was worth $750.00 new and all the upgrades pushes that up way past a grand, but I know an old bike is hard to ditch. Any ideas on what I should ask for the bike?
The components are in great shape too, they are built to take abuse and the bike really wasn't ridden that hard. Thanks for all your responses!

Old/used makes it worth less…$500 is about right

Use say the frame is clean what about the rest of the bike? If it looks good and works very well maybe $400 to $500. Someone said check out the ads EBay is a good place to see what is selling and for how much.
