How much is this bike worth?

    It's a relatively unknown brand anyway, looks like an early 80s European made. Not likely to be hugely valuable, but great to see it's in good nick.

    What is written on the gear derailleurs and brake units?

    Are you trying to sell it?

    I love the look of that bike, don't rush the sale, make sure you know what it's worth before you part with it.

    Yes on adverts.ie, am here trying to value it. Usual Shimano along with Positron. http://www.disraeligears.co.uk/Site/Shimano_Positron_FH_derailleur_%28PF20%29_files/IMGP7389-filtered.jpg

    Yes it been well looked after surprisingly gears click in like a dream.

    Considering the absurd prices on Adverts that we see in this thread, I see no reason why you shouldn't put about 400 on it to start. Put fixie project in the description, seems to add about 100 to any price.

    Same I fell I love when I seen it for the first time, bought it of a friend not going to say how much now :P. Surprised its condition no rust everything works perfect.

    Anyone have anymore ideas before I part with it.

    Impossible to value without riding it. It might be a total heap.

    If everything works I would pay less than 150.

    Old bikes can be difficult to source parts for.

    Take some decent pics in daylight. Presentation is everything.

    That's a nasty old steel frame. Pressed steel parts. Amazing it hasn't rusted, the finish was very bad on these. Must've been stored away for years was it? These were cheap in the eighties which explains why google didn't show anything for it- there's no love for these. It was never a quality bike so I wouldn't call it vintage. Not more than €50 IMO, if you must. Keep it well away from rain!

    It can't be that bad can it? Everything works perfect very soild bike heck even the lights are still going!

    OK, you've had some comments from posters which give you an idea. This forum is not for testing the water on what you might want to try and sell something for
