Colnago Super

Gravale

I have a racing bike in my shed with straight handlebars rather than the dropped ones. It's a ten speed with 'Closi' quick-release 'Rigida' heat-treated alloy wheels. The brakes have 'Speedy Modolo' on them and the gear-changing part at the wheel has 'Sun-Racer' inscribed thereon. The frame has 'Colnago Super' on it though I'm a bit suspicious about the authenticity of that. It's a very light bike too. It's totally devoid of corrosion, has new very thin tires and rides well (when I take it out two or three times a year!). It's obviously an oldish bike.

I'm not a bike expert or enthusiast and would rather have a regular traditional bike for city commuting. Here's my problem: I want to put it up for sale but haven't the foggiest idea as to what to ask for it. Is there a place or person that I could go to to seek advice on a valuation? Any opinions or advice would be most welcome. Thank you.

Put up a picture if you can. What size is it?

It's probably not a rare collectors item so I wouldn't expect too much for it.

I wouldn't expect it to be a collector's item. I simply didn't want to be letting it go without getting an idea of its general worth. The vertical (seat?) tube is 51cm on the inside and the crossbar is 53cm.

Closi is Italian for close. I'd be interested to hear what brand the hubs are.

The hubs of the wheels have 'Mount CH JI' on them.

The frame is definitely not a colnago, it looks well cared for though.
Are there any logo's on the derailleurs and chainset?
The levers look like cheap 80's simplex ones but the brakes/chainset/derailleurs look like there is a bit of quality about them.
Off the top of my head I'd ask 150 and accept 100 FWIW

Thanks for the price suggestion.

'SunRace' is on the derailleurs.
