Forum: Classic & Vintage Bicycle Appraisals and Inquiries

Just picked these up along w/ a rather nice women's schwinn breeze. My wife is starting to question my sanity :D Please let me know approx values etc. Thanks much! http://i677.photobucket.com/albums/vv138/bimmerpnk/parkwthedogs021.jpg...

Davidson Challenge, 1987 with full original Shimano 105 gruppo. Lot's of miles so wear is apparent and expected but well cared for. Minor surface rust. Sorry, no pics as it's an unexpected, chance, find. Can you give me a perspective of what a fair price would be? My size and would be my...

Out there at some airport sits an 1985 Simplon in Reynolds 531 with Campy dropouts and a CAMPY BB/spindle in square taper. Now I am trolling for a crankset. Older Campy, AFAIK almost always uses 144 BCD — a real PITA when it comes to replacing rings. So, I'm now looking at Shimano 600/Ultegra —...

I recently bought a late 80's Bianchi at an auction, because it was really cheap (130 swiss francs, around 100 USD), perfectly rideable (no damages except cosmetic ones) and suiting my touring needs. Let me put here first that this bicycle may not have been built with touring in mind, but it...

From perusing the Bridgestone catalogs, the 700 appears to be a higher end model. And judging from the font on the seat tube, this particular 700 looks like a 1985 or earlier. Is this worth anything close to $300? http://slo.craigslist.org/bik/1455578391.html

Always wondered what this bike would be worth. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt150/Streikk/IMG_0012.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt150/Streikk/IMG_0013.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt150/Streikk/IMG_0014.jpg It has some nice things to it:

http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/1469447457.html Well, the Schwinn in he picture looks "higher end", but he does not know without looking at it what it was. He mentioned that his father took really good care of his stuff and and the bike is super nice. He is holding the wheel truing...

Picked it up just now via CL. I thought 50 bucks was a steal for this bike, but I think I was wrong. I will definitely still make a few bucks on it, but I thought the quality of the componentry would be a little better. It's got a real cheap looking Sugino crank set, steel rims, weird cheap...

I know of a 1992 Bridgestone MB-1 for sale for $1000. It has been barely ridden and is like new. All original components. What is it worth?

i don't know what to do to salvage this severely damaged frame... i have what i think to be a 73 motobecane, with a bent fork and down tube. should I cut the drops off and auction just them for ease of shipping, and just recycle the tubes? or should i auction off the whole thing?

Ran across a 1973(?) Raleigh Sport 3 speed .... the metallic brown version with a 23 inch frame. Bike is complete with original paint and overall in pretty good condition except some rust on the rims. Saddle and tires (obviously) are not original, but everything else appears to be. Any idea of...

Hi! I'm looking for information on a bike my mother-in-law purchased used a few years ago in FL. It's a 20" fold-up made by B C America, a company out of Bethlehem, PA probably in the 1980's. The company was bought out right after that and we think they purchased many of them. The bike...

I've never heard of this brand before, I picked it up for the campy hubs and later saw that it has campy dropouts and columbus tubing so I thought maybe is not a cheapo bike afterall what would be a fair price for it minus the wheels, frame is too tall for me anyway to keep. ...

I am looking at pictures of this bike and it appears that the down tube decal is missing and I only see 2 chain rings. Also 1 wheel is not stock and it looks like the crank might not be original. I know the frame alone in good shape would be pretty desirable but what about the missing decal? Is...

I just received a full-fledged, deadhead style Miracle. I was given a bike and asked to find a home for it. I knew it was a nice bike when it was given to me but I didn't look too closely (when people give me bikes, I don't look it in the mouth - I thank them and assure them that the bike or at...

But dang $700? Is that reaslistic? That is crazy expensive. As you can tell the thing is beautiful though. Me want. Just my size too. http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/bik/1469551133.html

I have an opportunity to buy a vintage Monarch Aerodyne helmet. I know very little about it, but it looks interesting. Google and ebay searches came up empty. Is this rare? What do you think this is worth? Thanks in advance http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/3594/14154403.jpg By...

Hi there, I need some help on this one. Does this look like a low end Motobecane? $185 is the asking price. Dont know the specifics, except that the guy put a shimano600 freewheel on it. http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s162/sgtdouglas/Motob.jpg
