Hi,

Not sure exactly where to post this, so i'll stick it here and let me know if I should post it elsewhere.

I've got an older (1999?) Merlin XLM, Rob Vandermark design which I got from a friend last year. It has a Surly hard fork, Easton riser bars, full XTR components, a control tech stem, and i'm not too sure what else is important enough to mention. The condition is used but still good, i'd say the crank shows the most wear, it's pretty scratched up. I was never too into mountain biking, but it was just such a good deal I figured i'd buy and think about it later.

I'm not riding it nearly enough and am looking to sell to someone who will appreciate it more.

My questions are...would this be a good time of year to sell a bike, what with winter approaching and all? How much could I expect to get for it on ebay?


And if anyone on the forums would be interested in buying send me a pm and ill send you whatever details you'd like along with some pics.

thanks for any help! Mike
