For the peddlers here.. I can get my hands on an as new Giant ST1, hydraulic brakes, Marzocchi forks, original tires, barely used.

Any thoughts on what they are worth or what you would pay second hand?

Ta muchly.

Do you mean an STP1?
I paid $600 for an 09' in May. Had been used a bit, everything on it still sound however. So for a barely used one, I would expect anywhere up from $600.

Yup, that's what I mean STP1. It's a bit less than $600 too, I'm not a peddlar but thought it might be a bit of a bargain & could contribute to my summer riding fund. Looks like it has never been ridden. It's an 09 too, I believe.

Sounds like a bargain to me, just check over it like a motorcycle. If something looks dodgy, it probably is. Its not uncommon for the forks to have little spots of corrosion on them. Depending on where and how severe it is it can be a deal breaker.

Cheers. Not a skerrick of corrosion on it. Owned by somebody older than me for peddling to the shops. Must have ridden it about 4 times.

Just making sure you realize that it's a jump bike, and not really designed for pedaling around. Is that what you're after, or are you wanting to hit the trails for some pedaling action? Because it will pretty much suck for trail riding.

I have no intention of riding anything that does not use petrol, I'm old, infirm & lazy. Hurtling down hills on a push bike is well beyond the abilities of my skinny wee legs. I've never seen a veterans class either. LOL.

It struck me when the bike was offered that their might be a quid in it, so it is a case of buy to sell.

Thanks for the info.

Sorry for the hijack. I've a question for the MTBers out there. I'm thinking of giving MTBing a go. What are your thoughts on a Merida Big 9 TFS100 29er?
