FS Bike Value

I'm not sure where to post this but what does everyone think the value of a well maintained Porsche FS mountain bike would be?

Probably around $2k +/- if it's mint. Personally though, I'd rather have a nicely equipped older (pre-Trek) Klein. Oh wait, I do!

I spent a little over $2k on my new road bike, and I don't regret it one bit. People spend lots of money on trivial things like cigarettes, lottery tickets, and Lite beer. At least I get some mental and physical therapy for my bucks.

Vented disk brakes, carbon fiber, titanium, fully adjustable active suspension. There are just as many things to blow money on with a mountain or road bike as there are on a 911 (except you get more for your money with the porsche).

Curt,

I should have known you would have a tricked out bike in Porsche colors with decals. Looks great!

Are you riding that on an indoor trainer and getting sweat all over it?

Yeah, it gets a little sweaty ..... it's actually a K2/Pro-Flex but - of course - I had to strip the graphics off and put a couple of Porsche stickers on it.

Hehe, another bike thread invades off topic. Just got back from the shop buying an early birthday present - new handlebars (Easton EA70) to replace the noisy Cinelli's on my bike.

To price your bike - search to see if any are being sold. The internet is a big place.

That one is the "S" model. The "FS" (fully suspended) is quite a bit more spendy. I doubt that guy will get over $1000 for the "hard tail" version.


Oh, and nice bike Curt!

Here's a gratuitous pic of my pedal toy:
