'99 Cannondale Raven700 21" frame--How much is it worth?
The bike's front wheel needs replaced. It is very bent. The seat post has been shortened, and needs replaced. The glide bar needs replaced as well. What should I pay for this thing? Seller is asking $700.
I'd pass it up and look for a different frame. If you're planning on using it for downhill or anything rough, I wouldn't trust a 9 year old frame with your health and safety. That's WAY too much for that frame/bike in particular, but in the bigger picture I'd recommend that you pass it up. If you're set on buying it, first make sure that Cannondale even has the replacement linkage available and what the cost will be. Considering the age, bad wheel and frame parts, I wouldn't give more than $250 for it period, but then again I personally wouldn't touch that deal with a 10 foot pole.
