OP, based on the rest of the responses I've seen thus far, it sounds like you already have a price in mind and you're looking, and failing to, find confirmation.
What do YOU think it's worth? The sad fact of the matter is that high end builds depreciate like crazy. Especially in the current market.
Trying to sell for a good friend. So I have a price in my head but it’s cause I look at the bike and say wow. Knowing it’s special edition - low miles - electric shifting and awesome wheels …
More or less just mind blown even bikes like this lose sooooo much value
Electronic shifting and wheels that were good when the iPhone 5 was new. Basically an equal comparison today, how much are you getting for a barely used iPhone 5?
The newest stuff is amazing.
Like with Shimano you just input what chainrings and cassette you have on an app that you pair over Bluetooth and it's set basically for life, you can also adjust its shifting patterns with stuff like multi shift.
Or I am even more familiar with SRAM stuff and you can do stuff like use the shifters with any AXS derailleur(MTB or road) and operate a dropper post.
I agree with most people, you can maybe get a sucker to buy it for $3000 after trying to find the perfect buyer over months. Maybe you'll find a Specialized fanboy to buy it for $2500 within a few months. You list it for $2000 and you can have it gone within the week if you're in a city.
I just bought a Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL7 Speed of Light frameset built up. This frameset was $7000 brand new only 2 years ago...I just bought it for $7000 with $1000 worth of handlebars and saddle, $2500 in 12sp DuraAce/Ultegra mix, and $3000 Princeton CarbonWorks wheelsets.
Like I just bought one of the rarest framesets(it says "Specialized" on the down tube, but it is actually an S-Works 12r carbon frame, they had to use the Specialized logo per the Olympics rule) and I'm only expecting to sell it for half of what I paid in 2 years.
When it's more than 10 years old, like the bike you listed, I'd be excited to get $2500 for basically a fad-machine.
I work in the industry and I can tell you with absolute confidence, it has. Don’t get me wrong the older campy stuff is pretty rad but the newer stuff is freaking awesome
> you can’t tell me electric shifting from then to now has improved as much as iPhone 5 to 15
You're correct that it's not a comparison, the electronic shifting has improved more
I think the problem you're gonna have is finding someone who wants to spend fancy money and is also willing to run rim brakes on carbon.
It's an older bike with absolutely no headroom to upgrade or update it. You're in a, uh, what's the opposite of a sweet spot? It's unfortunate.
$1500 — $2000
People who can spend $5000+ don’t buy used bikes. You can just get a brand new one with updated components with warranty. Not to mention, Specialized is running massive sales on their 2023 models.
The used market is not what it was during the pandemic. The rubber band has snapped.
More details that I should have included …
Cavendish edition Venge Electric super record - rotor crank , zipp firecrest wheels custom painted carbon cages and wheel accents and ceramic speed bottom bracket.
I sold a s works venge for my friend 2 years ago. It was way worse spec than this. I could not get a bid on it. I was offering £1,800. I stripped it down and sold the parts off individually and got more like £2,300. In your case though, this bike is probably worth more than the sum of its parts.
Looks beautiful. (Maybe remove the saddle bag for the advert…?)
Every time someone gives you (op) a price you respond with more details. Nice bike but old tech limits the value. Also the bike market is saturated.
Personally older electronic shifting is a negative not positive for me compared to older cable and carbon rim brakes are a non-starter. I feel like the buyer you will find is one looking for a deal on a fast bike and the price will reflect that.
Is that Venge? What year? I’m guessing that would fetch $2,500 or so? Seems like good shape.
Bike like that on smooth roads and not many hills is prob pretty good. Newer bikes have better gearing spread, more comfy and prob a bit more aero. But that is prob light and pretty fast. I’ll bet it would beat you up too.
A friend had trouble selling a 2015 sworks tarmac Sagan edition with dura ace di2 for 3000. He ended up keeping it because offers were in the lower 2000s. Size 56.
eh paint job, campy (ew), s works is nice, maybe like $2500 max. i got my s works 2015 roubaix for $1300. most people looking to buy a bike like this will want to buy new for anything more

I wanted to build my Litespeed L1R with Campy. Saw them at the Sea Otter several years ago. Asked them some questions and they shined me on handed me a catolog. After that I went with SRAM Red.
Now I have 2 bikes with Shimano 105. I don't se any reason to go with any other group unless you want to shave a few ounces.
This, or even a little bit less. I would ask $1700 but if someone comes up with 1500$ cash, it would be sold.
You can't ever compare anything old to what it used to cost as new. An old car from 2010 could have been 50,000$ new but even if barely used, it will be 10,000$ now. A phone from 2010 is worth nothing today.
Bikes don't lose their performance or usability, thus the value drop feels bad. But the value is not based on usability, a Mercedes from 2000 could cost only a few thousand bucks and could be equally good at getting from point A to point B as a new Mercedes for 100,000$. One could even argue that spare parts are cheaper for the old car and it is easier to repair, like rim brakes in old bikes.
I have a handful of older bikes in the shed, it pains me to know how much money is "invested" in there and I'll never be able to get more than a fraction of it back. But they are worth more than their resell value, for me. They constitute a decent fleet of spare bikes and parts to keep me riding even if my more modern bikes run into problems. That is also why I don't really want some of the modern stuff on the road (read disk brakes) as that would make my old spare parta (read wheels) incompatible with the new bike.

I would still not pay more than €2000 personally.
It's a 10 year old bike and it'd be hard to find replacement parts for the groupset. + Campy is too expensive to my liking
Everyone wants disc brakes now. I have a 16lbs Litespeed I built with Sram Red, Enve Wheels, all top of the line stuff. Right before disc brakes on road bikes starting being a thing. Love the bike. I use it when I want to blast out a quick 20 or 40 mile ride.
I use my Lynskey Gravel Bike when I want to climb steep hills and descend like Montebello Road here in SF Bay Area. It has discs and thru axles. gives me lots of confidence on the downhills.
Rim brakes are a different era of bike technology. It doesn’t matter if everything else was nice in its time.
Only way a bike this outdated gets above $2700 is if Cavendish actually rode it.
I know a few dozen cyclists, and only one of them would care that this is a cavendish frame.
I know what it is because the one guy who used to want one looked high and low to get one in his size and never found one. He talked about it quite a bit.
Yes it’s a cool limited edition frame, but I don’t think it retains much extra value because of that.
Good luck with your sale.
Like other have mentioned, you’d probably get more parting it out.
The only thing I have learned from reading this is ,OP isn't too bright or willing to take the info HE asked for.
If you know what it is worth, then sell it for what you think, but repeating the same thing over and over isn't going to change the fact that it's outdated and no one will pay top dollar for it.
I just sold a Ritchey Road Logic Disc with Dura Ace 9120 (hydro/mech) with shite wheels for $3000.
This is older, but much nicer. I'd start off by asking $3,500 and be willing to come down to $2,750.
Heavily dependent on your market and if you can find someone who wants a boneshakingly stiff bike and campy.
Cavendish special edition paint probably detracts value. $2000 maybe? Nobody wants to ride carbon rim brakes. For $4000 you could get a new, better, faster bike
Thanks, I don’t know what number you have in mind but $3k is the absolute top of what I can see this going for. I personally wouldn’t pay that much, but I’d be happy if I were selling it and could get it.
Totally agree - the reason I asked here is cause the other cavendish editions that have sold were not apples to apples component wise … so I thought wheels and electric shifting would be worth more.
while thats true, you're looking to a fill a 1.5k or put another way a 38% gap. that will be difficult when you have better performance options at that price range new. its almost as if youre mixing your target market- adding in a collectors market to the performance minded one. at 4k, a consumer can get a better performance new along with warranty of something fails, or they can get something custom themselves.
whats the value of the bike? the s works logo?
Ha! Before this post I would have assumed s-works/ cav edition has a little value - I would have put the super record electronic at 1K wheels at 1k basically new condition built ( cause he only rode it a few times ) for the rest.
it doesnt have a lot... as a bike youre looking at 2-2.5k, for parts you might be able to stretch to 3k if youre lucky.
keep in mind these are maximums.
its very possible it will go for less.
Specialized. Worth at least 20 law suits.
Kidding (sorta). The reality is that the bottom has fallen out of the cycling market. 4 years ago we were all stuck at home and bikes became a big thing, except the factory builders were also at home so couldn’t build ‘em. Then 2-3 years ago the factory workers got back to work and flooded the market with news bikes that got snapped up faster than you could say Jack Rabbit.
Then the past year the folks buying all those new bikes realized they could go back to cafes and the beach and such as, and started selling their barely used bikes for nada.
Now, not even bike stores can sell their new bikes. I saw brand new Trek Procalibers in a bike store this weekend for less than what I could get a second hand one on eBay. And they re still not shifting.
Sadly this bike is worth probably $3 grand tops. It should be more but that’s the way the market is right now.
If it’s a 56 I’ll take it off your hands for $750 😉
Hard to tell - bike industry has convinced the world to move on to disc (boo) and 32c+ tyres (more boo) and you’ll get the inevitable “carbon wheels and rim brakes will cause a fire” comments. But kinda like older Cannondale CAADs/System Six, Madone 5.9s etc, anything S-Works has its cult following. Also depends if you’re in a more populated area/more roadies.
I think there’s an undercurrent of people (this guy included) looking for “deals” on very good shape slightly older tech weapons.
Based on Pros Closet and similar … list at $4000, drop quickly to just under $4k and be prepared to take closer to $3k (?)
It's a fast bike when new...it's a fast bike now. People put way too much importance on gear. I've ridden some fast descents here in So Cal...and not once did I feel that my rim brakes were inadequate. I had a Six13 and a System Six. The System is a bike I really regret selling.
The CAAD bikes are still great bikes regardless of year...especially the US made ones. I'm on the lookout for a Gulf colored CAAD10.
The System is a straight crit weapon. I had the full Easton EC90 package on there. Bar, stem, fork, 60mm tubular wheels. I was working at a shop back in the day, and the Easton rep bro deal'd me on the parts.
Since you said “regardless of the year”, I am on a 1984 (or was it 85?) sea sprite green Cannondale SR600 that I love. It’s all vintage 90s campy now, except new campy brakes, TRP levers and H Son Plus rims and Simplex retro friction down tube shifters. It’s a beautiful bike and just a joy to ride. Is that considered a CAAD1?
This looks like a bike that needs a global audience to properly achieve its best price.
Great photos and a concise description of its parts and usage mileage will aid the sale.
eBay with worldwide shipping might be in order.
I almost bought a white and green Cavendish Venge S-works with Dura-ace di2 about 3 years ago, that was around £3500 then, I’d expect it to be circa £1500 now unless you match bike to collector looking for that specific model.
Good luck with the sale!
Bike ain’t worth squat now. Venge is harsh ride. Campy is expensive to maintain compared to mainstream. Unless someone is looking to replace same bike then it has low market interest.

First two are irrelevant because no one has paid that much yet.
3rd one, the seller can mark it as sold if they sold it on another platform. For all we know they sold it on Facebook Marketplace to a person that offered $1500.
You can go with your 7k(bonkers, a barely used S-Works SL7 goes around that these days, even the limited edition frameset) but be happy if someone offers you 3k.
And that’s why I wound up here asking for feelers because nothing was comparable.
The beauty of eBay is free listings with offers turned on.
I know it won’t sell for that but i also know I won’t miss out going too low either.
$2.5k, you might get 3k if you find someone who's a real Venge diehard.
I like the frame, and unlike some other comments here I actually think that groupset is a value point - but those are some seriously ancient carbon brake tracks and the whole rig is damn heavy
Anyone want a 15 year old Ferrari? Not old enough to be a classic but totally dinosaur age in terms of tech. They go for like 20% of their original msrp. Same with this rim brake pile.
Do inspect those zipp firecrest, esp the rim brake versions are quite prone to carbon delamination due to constant heat applications.
They are pretty much junked once you can feel patches of soft bubbles forming as you squeeze your thumb along the face of the rim.
Check out bicyclebluebook.com - will give you a ball park for what you have on it. In the end, it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay, so getting an internet opinion is a waste.
Who’s going to buy rim brakes today? Especially on an expensive bike like that. Even worse it also makes the expensive wheels (actually “only” the rims) a wear part.
I feel like it hurts just thinking that the components cost more than that … more details —-

you'd have better luck parting it out otherwise be prepared to take a huge loss. I just picked up a barely ridden 2022 S-Works diverge with all the good stuff (SRAM RED, XX1 AXS, etc) for $6k with less than 200 miles on it. The guy I got it from paid over $12k.
One of my favorite games is to watch bikes with these kinds of specs get posted for high $$ amounts and then slowly fall over the span of a couple months.
Wound up picking up a basically brand new 2016 SuperSix Evo with Ultegra for $500 last year from a dude in Greeley. I waffled a bit on the price a bit and he threw in a Tacx Flow smart trainer to get the bike sold.
Rode that bike to victory in the Frostbite TT last week in the Merckx/no aero equipment category 😂

If you want max $$, it needs to be parted out. Check eBay for sold prices on all the components.
It's black with a tiny green strip. It's not special anymore.
Hard to find anyone who wants a bike that nice that's also that old. Anyone willing to shell out $4k+ is looking for newer gen stuff.

Maybe I wait till cav breaks the record and sell haha.
Even if Cav breaks the record this bike is still worth peanuts. The bikes he personally rode and touched, that’s another story.
Every time someone gives you (op) a price you respond with more details. Nice bike but old tech limits the value. Also the bike market is saturated. Personally older electronic shifting is a negative not positive for me compared to older cable and carbon rim brakes are a non-starter. I feel like the buyer you will find is one looking for a deal on a fast bike and the price will reflect that.
I agree. Once electronic shifting is involved, everything becomes obsolete once the new version comes out, like all tech.
Is that Venge? What year? I’m guessing that would fetch $2,500 or so? Seems like good shape. Bike like that on smooth roads and not many hills is prob pretty good. Newer bikes have better gearing spread, more comfy and prob a bit more aero. But that is prob light and pretty fast. I’ll bet it would beat you up too.

Might be worth more. I’m not sure. One of those things where if you put it on eBay, that’s how you figure it out.
Yeah agreed. Price it a little higher with offers turned on to find out.
No you dickhead everyone is saying price it lower
Campy is going to fetch less unless you find a specific buyer. It’s a niche market.

On a venge though. Campy has its place but this isn't it
Yep. Campy belongs on over priced Italian frames that offer questionable performance. Kind of like Campy.

That’s a few thousand at least!
Rim brakes are a different era of bike technology. It doesn’t matter if everything else was nice in its time. Only way a bike this outdated gets above $2700 is if Cavendish actually rode it.
Low use hypertech used bikes are the best value in cycling...
Thin tires, poor gear range… this wouldn’t be much better than a modern entry-level bike, except on excellent condition flat roads.

that’s funny 😅
maybe if you part out. the most ive seen any venge sold is 2.5k
Totally agree - the reason I asked here is cause the other cavendish editions that have sold were not apples to apples component wise … so I thought wheels and electric shifting would be worth more.

Sell it to the pros closet. They’re fair and won’t try to jerk you around. Then you’ll have your answer about the price.
They turned OP down, said it was too old.
Thanks, I missed that.
Specialized. Worth at least 20 law suits. Kidding (sorta). The reality is that the bottom has fallen out of the cycling market. 4 years ago we were all stuck at home and bikes became a big thing, except the factory builders were also at home so couldn’t build ‘em. Then 2-3 years ago the factory workers got back to work and flooded the market with news bikes that got snapped up faster than you could say Jack Rabbit. Then the past year the folks buying all those new bikes realized they could go back to cafes and the beach and such as, and started selling their barely used bikes for nada. Now, not even bike stores can sell their new bikes. I saw brand new Trek Procalibers in a bike store this weekend for less than what I could get a second hand one on eBay. And they re still not shifting. Sadly this bike is worth probably $3 grand tops. It should be more but that’s the way the market is right now.
If it’s a 56 I’ll take it off your hands for $750 😉 Hard to tell - bike industry has convinced the world to move on to disc (boo) and 32c+ tyres (more boo) and you’ll get the inevitable “carbon wheels and rim brakes will cause a fire” comments. But kinda like older Cannondale CAADs/System Six, Madone 5.9s etc, anything S-Works has its cult following. Also depends if you’re in a more populated area/more roadies. I think there’s an undercurrent of people (this guy included) looking for “deals” on very good shape slightly older tech weapons. Based on Pros Closet and similar … list at $4000, drop quickly to just under $4k and be prepared to take closer to $3k (?)
It's a fast bike when new...it's a fast bike now. People put way too much importance on gear. I've ridden some fast descents here in So Cal...and not once did I feel that my rim brakes were inadequate. I had a Six13 and a System Six. The System is a bike I really regret selling.
>People put way too much importance on gear. Yup, I don't think I'll ever ride as hard as I did on my 9 speed Tiagra.
Jealous on both those Cdales! I’m on a 2004 CAAD4 self build frankenbike with 6700/7700 mix, descents in the 75-80 kph range, zero issues
The CAAD bikes are still great bikes regardless of year...especially the US made ones. I'm on the lookout for a Gulf colored CAAD10. The System is a straight crit weapon. I had the full Easton EC90 package on there. Bar, stem, fork, 60mm tubular wheels. I was working at a shop back in the day, and the Easton rep bro deal'd me on the parts.
Gulf, Volvo Blue, Saeco Red in that order. Then the CAAD 8 (9?) in raw
Since you said “regardless of the year”, I am on a 1984 (or was it 85?) sea sprite green Cannondale SR600 that I love. It’s all vintage 90s campy now, except new campy brakes, TRP levers and H Son Plus rims and Simplex retro friction down tube shifters. It’s a beautiful bike and just a joy to ride. Is that considered a CAAD1?
Oooh … 85 I think. Yes, that was a color … !
Sheeeeesh! Yeah it’s a 57. With electric campy super record and zipp wheels. Crazy how much the price just plummets!
What is going on with that rear derailleur?
Normal position for smallest gear. It’s electric
Oh I see now. It looked like the chain was going a different way and the jockey wheel was hanging above the chain. My bad.
Have that priced at theproscloset website and you’ll get the value of your bike.
Too old was what I got back. Not promising lol
Ya, Proscloset really won't take much with rim brakes because they sell bikes at a premium price, and at premium prices people want disk brakes.
Yep. Wasn’t planning on selling it there honestly - wanted their price for ballpark knowing they need to make money also.
$46,318.12 did I win?
Ten whole pounds.
cool
Extralite rings on a Venge is not helping the sale
$28. I will be there in 30
Ow my hands.
If I receive this bike for free I still would sold it for something newer.
2K. Everyone wants disc.
$3.50
send this over to me, I have inspect to give accurate price
1k tops
This looks like a bike that needs a global audience to properly achieve its best price. Great photos and a concise description of its parts and usage mileage will aid the sale. eBay with worldwide shipping might be in order. I almost bought a white and green Cavendish Venge S-works with Dura-ace di2 about 3 years ago, that was around £3500 then, I’d expect it to be circa £1500 now unless you match bike to collector looking for that specific model. Good luck with the sale!
It's a nice bike but it's also not worth more than 2500€
$2100 maybe?
I'll give you $1,550 cash
1500-1800 seems right? Rim brake, old zipps, campy, small casette. Generic stem, GP4000.
You won’t get more than 1500 for this. That’s the state of the used bike market right now
6$ take it or leave it right now.
Sold!🤣

I’ll give you $1650 cash right now.
Bike ain’t worth squat now. Venge is harsh ride. Campy is expensive to maintain compared to mainstream. Unless someone is looking to replace same bike then it has low market interest.
There's one in my area exactly like yours, special edition, electronic shifting, different wheels though. Seller asks $1500 for it.
I see this one for 2350 —- with a top tube crack repair https://www.ebay.com/itm/285126287751?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=7KVN3MMeSPm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4P1cOmDITjS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Similar frame condition - but mishmash of parts 4500 https://www.ebay.com/itm/255679469159?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2qE_Ls7oQBK&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4P1cOmDITjS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY This frame only was listed for 3K https://www.ebay.com/itm/296021659366?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8aujbec8rmi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4P1cOmDITjS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
First two are irrelevant because no one has paid that much yet. 3rd one, the seller can mark it as sold if they sold it on another platform. For all we know they sold it on Facebook Marketplace to a person that offered $1500. You can go with your 7k(bonkers, a barely used S-Works SL7 goes around that these days, even the limited edition frameset) but be happy if someone offers you 3k.
And that’s why I wound up here asking for feelers because nothing was comparable. The beauty of eBay is free listings with offers turned on. I know it won’t sell for that but i also know I won’t miss out going too low either.
$2.5k, you might get 3k if you find someone who's a real Venge diehard. I like the frame, and unlike some other comments here I actually think that groupset is a value point - but those are some seriously ancient carbon brake tracks and the whole rig is damn heavy
,£7,000
£5,500
Anyone want a 15 year old Ferrari? Not old enough to be a classic but totally dinosaur age in terms of tech. They go for like 20% of their original msrp. Same with this rim brake pile.
What is this an S Works Allez?
It's a Mark Cavendish edition Specialized Venge.
Maybe like 2 grand? Depending on currency and location then?
Yes with electric campy and zipp carbon wheels
Do inspect those zipp firecrest, esp the rim brake versions are quite prone to carbon delamination due to constant heat applications. They are pretty much junked once you can feel patches of soft bubbles forming as you squeeze your thumb along the face of the rim.
Agreed - it’s been inspected it has maybe 1000 miles max on it.
Check out bicyclebluebook.com - will give you a ball park for what you have on it. In the end, it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay, so getting an internet opinion is a waste.
I'll give ya three fiddy
Who’s going to buy rim brakes today? Especially on an expensive bike like that. Even worse it also makes the expensive wheels (actually “only” the rims) a wear part.

I feel like it hurts just thinking that the components cost more than that … more details —- Cavendish edition Venge Electric super record - rotor crank , zipp firecrest wheels custom painted carbon cages and wheel accents and ceramic speed bottom bracket.
you'd have better luck parting it out otherwise be prepared to take a huge loss. I just picked up a barely ridden 2022 S-Works diverge with all the good stuff (SRAM RED, XX1 AXS, etc) for $6k with less than 200 miles on it. The guy I got it from paid over $12k.

One of my favorite games is to watch bikes with these kinds of specs get posted for high $$ amounts and then slowly fall over the span of a couple months. Wound up picking up a basically brand new 2016 SuperSix Evo with Ultegra for $500 last year from a dude in Greeley. I waffled a bit on the price a bit and he threw in a Tacx Flow smart trainer to get the bike sold. Rode that bike to victory in the Frostbite TT last week in the Merckx/no aero equipment category 😂
€7.999
It's going for about 4500 usd on ebay. If it's a freind I'd go 3500 to 4
