Changing from Mountain Bike to a Road Bike.

    I bought this bike 6 months ago on the btw scheme.
    http://www.tredz.co.uk/blog/cube-acid-2012-mountain-bike-review/.
    It cost me €950, but I've since realised that it's a road bike I want. I'd prefer to be cycling 50k that cycling up hills and mountains. I've only used it about 6 or 7 times, I'd say there isn't 150km done on it. Realistically, how much could I expect to get for it?
    As regards the racer, I would be looking for something around the €900 mark again. Haven't a clue what spec etc I should be looking for though. Any help appreciated.

    The Cube's value - like all bikes - will be decimated by potential buyers having access to the btw scheme.
    For your road bike 900 will buy you a decent Giant Deft 3 in a shop & you'll even have some change. Better value available online as ever ....

    The Cube is really only worth about 500 as that's all it would cost on the btw.

    Put a post on the adverts sub-forum here looking for a swap. There's bound to be someone with a road bike who's looking for an MTB

    and unfortunately for the OP due to the being 6 months old and used (if only a couple of times) you can probbaly knock another 100/150 off that
