its my brother in law. he moved down to newquey and decided to embark on a new (to him) sport, called bmxing. it was a freak soft landing accident when he hooked up on a whoops and stopped dead from 25mph, the bone is shattered and 2 months later has not started to knit together, it will be at least 12months before the cage can be removed, he is (was) a fireman, and will almost surely be pensioned off for this...
anyway, as a result his bike is up for grabbs, it was 2 months old up to the point of the accident and cost 700quid.
i havent a clue what the value is now, it will hit the ebay if no ones interested here...














any ideas on its value, or anyone interested, it does show some slight signs of wear, and the very soft grips could do with being replaced, as its been in a shed unused for 2 months there is some surface rust on the nuts and bolts, but that has probably been accelerated due to being in a salty seaside climate... :daumenhoch:

priv:
there on the 24/seven website 620 brand new,so if it's 2 years old i bet he'll lose at least 300 quid off it


there was one that's  just gone for 400 on southerndownhill.com that was better specced.


so about 3-400

edit:just re-read it you said 2 months.DOH

meticulous:
so should it be worth 500ish then ???

priv:
Yeah


if he advertises it on southerndownhill.com or singletraction.com he should get a buyer straight away

lodge:
Gutted for your brother in law, i think its fair to say that his situation is everyone on here's worst nightmare, hope he gets well soon.

He shouldn't have any trouble selling the bike as even the older slackers make around 400 on the bay and that is a brand new spec one.
