Built on real UK bike and bicycle sold-price data
Every valuation draws from completed UK transactions, not asking prices. See the methodology
Methodology owned and reviewed by Tom Southern, Founder.
How it works
Every valuation blends real UK sold prices, live listings and manufacturer data, so today's number reflects today's market.
01
Verified completed sales across the UK used-bike market drive the core estimate.
02
Current asking prices keep the estimate in step with the live market, not last year's comps.
03
Manufacturer pricing crossed with condition-specific depreciation curves anchors newer models.

What moves the price
These aren't baked into the headline figure, but they can swing the real-world price of any used bike up or down.
Sellers who go in with these to hand finish their listing in under ten minutes. None of them are deal-breakers, but each one helps.
Proves provenance and rules out the bike being stolen. Buyers pay more for documented purchase history.
Used for our automatic stolen-bike check before the listing goes live. Usually stamped under the bottom bracket.
Stamps from a bike shop or your own dated maintenance log. A serviced bike sells faster and at a higher price.
Component manuals, the original spec sheet or carry-over warranty paperwork. Not essential, but useful when you have it.
Battery keys, lock keys and any associated app credentials. Missing keys are a common reason buyers walk away.
Drive side, non-drive side, cockpit, drivetrain, any wear, plus the frame number close-up. Natural light, plain background.
