Is there general interest in Bullit frameset?

I won't bore with the details but I have a low mileage Bullit for sale locally in Northwest Arkansas and haven't had much interest at all. I have it priced at 8,700 USD for the S build size medium. With tax included that's a $3,000 discount from new and only 400 miles on the bike. I'm considering just trying to sell the frameset and parting out the rest but I haven't seen if there would be interest in the frameset. I know there generally is interest in framesets on e-bikes but not many manufacturers sell them that way. Would also be a little easier to ship just a frameset.

I feel like it's priced fairly but maybe not good enough or the market is just too tough for high-end e-bikes.

I wonder if the Santa Cruz section of this forum is any indication of a lack of interest in Santa Cruz ebikes. Before getting my Santa Cruz I had a Trek Rail and was frequenting the Trek section of this forum where there is a lot more activity than the Santa Cruz section. There is usually a new post or response to an existing post daily.

I barely see movement in the Santa Cruz section. Even YouTube lacks new content on the Bullit or Heckler.

That being said, I think it'd be especially hard to sell just a frameset let alone a complete bike. Can't see anyone else being interested in a frame unless they were looking to replace a frame they already had. Prospective buyers that are looking to build up a Bullit would probably be few, if any, as I don't think you can easily just get a Shimano motor by itself.

Yeah, the lack of activity here is somewhat surprising as well as on the Facebook groups. I know some people like to choose their own wheelset and fork, especially, and brakes and groupset. That may just be a vocal few, though. Thanks for the response. Much appreciated.

I would not put it down to Santa Cruz it must be just the price, I don't ever see much for sale in the UK. Although it's not a bike I have looked at I would be surprised if they don't have the same followers the regular bikes have always held there money well in the UK.
