r/fatbike

Hello! I am struggling to figure out if the price someone is asking is fair for a Cannondale 2018 Fat CAAD 2. It comes with a brand new set of 45NRTH studded tires (they retail about $150 each). The bike is in really good condition with no known issues. The summer tires it currently has on are in good condition.

The seller is asking $1400, and that includes the tires. The bike has no upgrades and it has a large sized frame.

For additional context, I am in Alaska and I have been told that fat bikes keep their value very well in our market. I already checked all of the online resources but I don't think they accurately reflect the reality of the market up here. It is also hard to come by large frame used bikes. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Editing to add: MSRP is $1899 USD

These are 15x150 and 12x197 hubs.

After researching and reading the comments I've decided to go with NEXTIE rolling star hubs as my main hubs.

The reason I went with NEXTIE is there freehub design is base off on DT swiss star rachet design which is proven to be reliable and cost was not as crazy as other brands.(Paid around 50,000jpy total)

I opt for the HG free hub steel body and swap the 36t to a 60t helical rachet.

The second contender was an accidental find thru AliExpress recommendation.

The non logo hubs sold by Timetec (paid 11,300jpy)

These are also DT SWISS inspired rachet hubs.

Upon closer view the hub seem to be really a well thought, the freehub body is steel and the rear axle is also steel unlike the NEXTIE hubs which are made from alloy.

Can't wait to have them build up soon

NEXTIE HUBS will be laced with 26 mulefute 80

Timetec HUBS will be laced with 27.5 Duroc 40

I’ve got a Mayor v6 Ti small frameset (I’m 5.5ft) on order with expected December delivery. Anyone else in on the special order? This is gonna be my HT play thang.
