Hey everyone,
I could really use some advice from the community.
I lost my dad several month ago, and he was a super ambitious mountainbiker, now I got his ride and don‘t know enough, although im riding myself casualy, to be confident about prizing/valuing it right. I just didn‘t receive any serious offers for 6 month now.
The bike started as a 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Carbon, but after a frame crack it got upgraded to an S-Works Stumpjumper FSR Carbon 2020 frame (size L, gloss black). On top of that, a lot of components were upgraded, like XX1 cranks and the S-Works carbon handlebar – so it’s now a full carbon build, super light (around 12.5 kg / 27.5 lbs), and ready to shred.
The condition is used with love, overall pretty good, no scratches on the frame e.g., always serviced.
Here’s the full parts list:
• Frame: S-Works Stumpjumper FSR Carbon 2020, size L, gloss black
• Fork: RockShox Pike RC, 130 mm travel, DebonAir, Boost
• Shock: RockShox Deluxe RT3, 190×42.5 mm
• Wheels: Roval Traverse Carbon 29”, 30 mm internal width, tubeless ready
• Crankset: SRAM XX1 Eagle DUB 170 mm
• Rear Derailleur: SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed
• Shifter: SRAM GX Eagle Trigger
• Brakes: SRAM Guide R, 4-piston, 200/180 mm rotors
• Handlebar: S-Works Carbon Mini Rise
• Tires: Maxxis Ardent Race 29×2.4, set up tubeless
• Weight: ~12.5 kg (~27.5 lbs)
I’ve been trying to sell it for €2,500 (~$2,700 USD), which – based on the German market and similar listings – seems more than fair considering the high-end components and carbon everything. Still, no serious offers.
Now I’m wondering:
• Is the problem that people just don’t want like a „half“ S-Works bike, as some components are one level below the frame?
• Should I part it out and sell components individually instead?
• Or maybe I just need to completely change the tone and structure of my listing, or is my price still too high?
Price new with all the parts was around 7.500€ (~ 8.150$)
Would love to hear your honest feedback on a realistic price. Appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

The used bike market is absolutely rubbish right now. Keep it and shred in honour of your dad.
Why not keep it, as a memory of and to honor your dad?
Some things are kind of outside monetary value.
Does it fit you?
Sorry for you loss.
2500 is a bit steep in my opinion.
Sure it has got some upgraded parts but also some really “basic” parts that just don’t fit the other components.
For example the SRAM Guide R’s and the Pike RC.
So you have few problems:
1. People that wanna get into the sport will probably not get a 2500 bike in the current used market.
2. People that are looking to buy a “high-end” model will probably not spend any money on a 2019 bike.
3. If someone was to look for a 2019 S Works Stumpjumper they would find a bike with top tier components for about the same price…
4. The used market is flooded with cheap bikes and the bike industry as a whole has some serious problems selling stuff. Quite a few brands did face bankruptcy in the last 2 years.
Maybe try around 2000. You may have to go even lower.
I think you are asking a fair price, but the problem is that with all these bike companies having financial trouble it’s possible to find a new bike around the same price. Either keep it and ride it or keep lowering the price until someone buys it, but you’ll never get the value in parts back out of that bike
Sorry for your loss. This is an expensive bicycle. In the U.S. at least 4-5K USD.
