Does it have DONTBUYME written all over it?! I don't know what im doing wrong

Mods, im not trying to sell it via PH forums. I genuinely would like some help on this. Thanks.

You've hit the key DH problem. They cost the earth to build and because they're unusable for anything other than uplift days (or people get bored of them v quickly) they don't sell for that much.

Having said all that, it's got a lot of choice bits on it, although now a few years out of date. I'd maybe break and sell separately TBH.

Too expensive unfortunately.

There have been a few decent spec 224's going for less than that, not to mention the geometry on the 223 was 'interesting' so perhaps isn't greatly popular.

I would have thought that was about £1000 at a push now.

Agreed it's too expensive; that's an £800-900 bike as it stands. Split it.
