Not sure if there's interest in a dedicated 'what's it worth' thread and so this is either the start of one or just a one-off question:
So.....

I've been bitten by the + bug (29er flavour) and so I'm thinking of selling my Cotic 'Solaris'.
Spec as follows:
Frame: 19" (Turquoise)
Fork: RS Reba
Wheels: Hope on Stan's 'Flow' (front reg, rear EX)
Tyres: Maxxis (Ardent front, Crossmark rear)
Chainset: XT (with Middleburn rings)
Shifters/Mechs: SRAM X9
Brakes: Hope M4
BB/Headset/Seat clamp: Hope
I have a selection of bar/stem/grip combos to attach.
Will keep my seat.
All in great working condition (drivetrain less than a year old with only light use).
So.....
What's it worth?

I know you mention 29+ but what about a set of 650b+ wheels for the Cotic?

Could be worth a look.
Anyone know the dimensions (or know of somewhere to calculate dimensions) of a 27.5 wheel with a 3" tyre on a 52mm hugo rim?

Not sure about the Hugo's but I was looking at WTB Scrapers's last night:
"Fat B Nimble 27.5×3.5 on WTB Scraper rim (45 mm internal width) measured 71 mm wide and 73.3 cm in diameter".
The Nimble appears much lighter than the WTB 2.8 and isn't a true 3.25 and comes in under 3.
Unfortunately still too wide for my bike.

I'm can't answer the question but posted as I'd been reading the news page of Cotic so thought this might be interesting to you:

From a quick scan of that article it seems Cy is still only just scraping into the 27.5+ category and not with certain rim/tyre combos.
I'd love a + Cotic as I really love mine but I don't really want to compromise much (unless I can squeeze something into my existing frame which is doubtful).
I'm also feeling the 29+ more and more instead of the 27.5+ as I'm 6'2" and can easily throw it around.
Hmmmm.....
More research and thinking needed!

Fair enough. I thought I'd mention it as I wasn't sure if you'd seen that recent update.
I'm not that Solaris biased honestly
