Here is the listing… Carbon fiber frame with Futureshock for for gravel and road cycling. Shimano Tiagra 2×10 groupset (1 group-set removed, but will come with the bike) with Mechanical disc brakes. The bike is in excellent mechanical condition with a few roadscars. I bought used in 2021. A small piece of the rear frame was repaired professionally and was that way when I bought it. I’ve never had any issues whatsoever. I’m going back to a mountain bike is the only reason I’m selling.

With the repair I would guess 400-600 USD. You could try going closer to the market value of a cleaner bike to start, 800-1000 but I expect the repair to turn off most buyers.
This bike looks heavily used and with a repair it’s hard to say . But maybe 400$ bc of heavily used and the repair
If not
Walk away
I would pass on this for any money, as the only part worth salvaging – the frame – is damaged, and the bike itself is questionable.
I have this bike, but upgraded significantly and minus the carbon repair. Its a solid frame, but with the repair and the stock wheels / drivetrain it just isn’t worth the effort.
Depends where and who did the carbon repair. If you did it at a reputable place that offers a guarantee/warranty, then you should probably convey where you did the repair. If it was a backyard DIY repair…yeah, I would not buy this bike for any money. There are carbon bike repair services online where you ship them the frame and they do amazing work and even offer guarantees on the work, often making that area even stronger if not the same as before. With that being said, a carbon repair tends to cut the resale value of a bike at least in half. I wouldn’t pay more than $500 USD for that.
