looks ok to me mate
1300/1400 is about the right price, it looks like a nice bike, for some reason in the first picture the screen looks huge, dunno why.... :confused
maybe take a few pics of all the original parts all layed out on the floor, to show what comes with the bike. maybe list all the extras.
but if i'm honest i've seen a lot worse adverts than yours, good luck with the sale buddy :thumbup:

Photos don't give the best impression

Improve the lighting shoot it with the sun on it not behind giving an impression of a silhouette/ or use a flash to fill in and bring out detail in the shadows. Some of the later pics come out okay but at dusk with a black bike you'll struggle for decent light. Frame it closer, eliminating the background as much as possible. Amazing how many folk take pics of their pride and joy with the bins!
