Hi--as some people will note, I've had various degrees of, "should I sell it or not" when contemplating my old Waterford 1400 Mountain Bike...and now, because of storage limitations, I'm going to sell it. Finally!
I'm going to put it on eBay next week once I get it back to the old "Rivendell" set up, and I'd like some opinions on the handlebars: should I offer it with the Nitto DirtDrops it now has, or put another bar on it and sell the DirtDrops separately? I'm going to start the bidding at $575, and hopefully I'll get a little more than that, but that was with the Nitto bars. Would putting another set of bars decrease its value more than what I could get for the DD's? Or, what I think I'm getting at is: if I put non-drop bars on it, would more people consider buying the bike on eBay?) Obviously, I've agonized over this, but I can't really justify having two bikes at this time (our new Quickbeams are here, and we'll be picking them up next week.) If the general consensus is for me to replace the DD's, any suggestions for the new bar? I considered a Mustache bar, but to me that's the same sort of issue--too many people won't "get it." Thanks in advance.
