HELP! 2013 Focus Mares CX 1.0 Rapha Focus 54 cm for sale (maybe not for us, though)

[Laurens De Jong]

Hello, parents!

The Junior team was donated a very good condition 2013 Focus Mares CX 1.0 Rapha Focus, size 54. Blue book value is about $1,750. That amount is almost our entire 2022 budget — if we can sell this bike for approximately that much money, there are some nice things we can do that would otherwise be deferred until 2023. Additional loaner bikes, additional jerseys or other teamwear. 

It's for that reason that I prefer to sell this bike, rather than add it to the loaner collection. It's a little vintage by now, but it is a full-carbon frame and honestly, canti brakes are still boss.

Options:

1. Someone here buys it outright. I'll take $1,600 from a parent.
   
   
2. Someone here asks all their friends. Asking $1,750.
   
   
3. Someone here volunteers to sell this bike on Pinkbike, eBay, Craigslist — I don't care, I'd like to end up with $1,600 in the bank.

Picture of the Focus below. Let me know if you can help. Thanks. 

Allez AAVC!
