Title: Is it my imagination, or are 2010 C14s harder to find?
Post by: wcgreen on April 23, 2015, 03:05:14 PM: Hi-
I am going to be purchasing a C-14 around August/September and have been browsing the net for several months just getting an idea of prices. I am most interested in a 2010, blue, ABS model, but I have to say that I see TONS of '08 and '09s, but not very many '10s. Has anyone else noticed this? Just look on Craigslist or Cycletrader... they seem to be harder to find. Probably most interested in a blue, ABS 2010 and after that, an ABS 2008.

Like the rest of the years, the older they get, the more you'll find for sale. So by the end of summer, I'd be confident
that you'll find something to your liking.

..cause '10 Candy Neptune Blues are the fastest! 8) Only the owners that are afraid of 'em put them up for sale. ;D

It is a different blue than the 2010 Neptune Blue [dark blue], but there is also the 2013 Nocturne Blue [medium blue] (not to mention the 2008 Neutron Silver [silvery very light blue]). Of course, the 2013 will be even that much harder to find.

The Neptune Blue is the closest to Navy Blue, which is Auburn's official color... hence my desire for this bike... add a little burnt orange bling... yup!
