Re: spare 30 K ?

[John Staines]

30k is more than alittle steep....I guess it's only worth what someone
is prepared to pay for it....I think they might be waiting alittle while
before they get anything like that for it.

cheers

Bit steep.

One of the guys I ride round with has a Trek 5500 that cost him less
than $3,000. It's a genuine team model with the Shimano team issue
(big, fat logos) Dura-Ace groupset. About 2001 model. Issued to one of
the Australian US Postal team members.

You mentioned that 'It is definitely used'. I tried out one of those a
couple of years ago. A Scapin Pro-Team belonging to a former world
champ. He'd done about 25,000km to 35,000km in the year since he'd got
it. The Dura-Ace bottom bracket was stuffed. It was like the bearing
was filled with pebbles.

Macca was selling his Linda McCartney team Pinarello? a couple of
years ago for about $5,000. This could be described as "almost brand
new".

Some of these are bargains.

Depends on what you want the bike for. If you want to ride it, you can
get some great bikes for very low prices. If you want to buy a
collectible, that's up to you :-)

Regards,
Richard.

Maybe the 30k is on it, so that no-one WILL buy it... might scare the hell
out of them if someone DID offer 30k!!!

Assuming SO'G got the bike as part of his job, would he have to pay
nearly $15k capital gains tax or FBT on a $30k sale?

Yeah, probably there in the store for curio value. Has the $30K sticker on
it in case it gets stolen...
