I'm selling my 08 Turner Sultan FS (Lg). Bought it new, haven't ridden it for, ahem, years. Great shape, details in invoice in pics. Any advice on what it's worth?
2008 Turner Sultan - what's it worth?
- Thread starter LittleWoods
- Start date
If you can get $600, take it.
Thanks guys - not what i wanted to hear but what i needed to hear.
I mean it's are beautifully spec'd bike for it's day (some of the parts are still nice even for this day... Lots of people love the Salsa gear).
BUT, outside of the old school and collectables buyers you won't get a lot.
For the average punter the straight steerer is a big problem.... no like absolutely NO good mid to high end replacement forks are made for it anymore. It's 29er so no worries there. That straight steerer though.... Bugger.
Wall art?

Do you have any friends with kids about that size? Because with these types of things, the karma points end up being worth MANY times more than the few hundred (honestly) that you would get for it.
Man, I wanted one of those BAD when they first came out. Unfortunately for you, that bike is a product of its time. The geometry alone indicates its definitely from a certain era. Like @DaveW says, great specs for its age and it looks like it's in great shape, but mountain bikes have progressed TONS since then.
Yep - it's the straight steerer that has rendered pretty much all of these older bikes obsolete, I'm afraid. Sucks, 'cause I have an old 2010 Reign that is completely functional, but is going to, at some point, need a fork.
Reign is *not* a 29'er. Also - it needs at a minimum 150mm, with preference to 160mm.You should buy this bike so you have an extra fork.
I enjoyed mine for the 4+ years I was on it, rode it all over the country. Raced a bunch of 100 milers on it too.
