What road bikes are worth
What lifts the price
- Higher-tier groupsets, which buyers price precisely
- A frame with no crash damage and a straight rear triangle
What pulls it down
- Seized seatposts or headset play
- Older frame standards that limit future upgrades
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the chain for stretch with a wear gauge
- Inspect the frame carefully around the bottom bracket and dropouts
Getting it ready
- Find the frame size in centimetres or as S/M/L, usually printed on the seat tube or in the manufacturer’s geometry chart.
- Identify the groupset and its tier, which is printed on the derailleurs and shifters, and check the chain for stretch.

- Frame size in centimetres, and the rider height it suits
- Frame material: alloy, carbon, steel or titanium

Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
