If you were selling your bike which had decentish bits on would you break it or sell it as a whole? Caveat is the bike is about 4/5 years old, but with very little use. Has Fox Float RL forks, Float rear shock, XT bits, etc.

I'd break, especially if some parts were much more desirable than others.

I've always broken down bikes and sold in the past, but with ebay being so bl**dy annoying these days, I'd be tempted to do a "cash" sale on a few forums.

www.singletrackworld.com is pretty good.

No hassles with paypal, no ebay fees and the buyer will probably be less of a tool than on ebay.

I'd break it, but you're better off keeping the shock with the frame.
