Treated myself with a new bike for my 63rd birthday, have now 2. The 7er is advertised, but they seem hard to sell. 3 years from new it may go for 1/2 of price when new

Sold, had to take a huge loss...£4.6k.
The bike I bought had lost just £3.2k from new, even if driven longer. No such word as "fairness" in a market😐 - just bought the wrong bike (everyone wants a T7 these days).

But I'm ever more satisfied with the 9er, so who cares?

Ive never bought a bike new, I swoop in at the three to four years old mark. Watching the previous owner wince in pain at the loss. Ive never paid over £6K for a bike.
Thats my honorary Scotsman coming out.

I usually point out no grease around suspension linkages, mumble about shim check due soon. Unfortunately, its a buyers market in certain models.
Any rusty bolts, I always say its gonna cost to sort those out I always pay in cash.
A wad of notes soon brings a sale. Do the HPI check on my phone, once we have a deal.
