how much is my bike worth?
I've got a bicycle that I'm thinking of selling. I have no idea what it
would be worth in todays market. It was built up in spring 1990 and still in showroom condition. frame and fork: 23" Schwinn Prologue / red and white fade / constructed of Tange Prestige tubing / I believe this frameset was manufactured in Japan by Panasonic for Schwinn. front derailleur, rear derailleur and shifters: Campagnolo Super Record with downtube Campy friction shifters brakes: Campy Nuovo Record with black Dia Compe aero levers headset: Tange alloy (dont know what model ... came with the frame) stem: Modolo black aero bar: Modolo Super Titanium cranks: Campagnolo Super Record 42/53 170mm bottom bracket: Campagnolo Nuovo Record 68mm english chain: Suntour narrow pedals: Campagnolo Super Record (titanium spindels) and clips/straps seatpost: Campagnolo Super Record fluted two bolt saddle: Brooks Team Professional leather hubs: Shimano Dura Ace (old style Campy knock off) spokes: 14ga DT rims: Mavic 700c clincher (I'm not sure what model. They're anodized silver and have a label that's yellow on one end with "Mavic" printed in black letters. The other end is green with a yellow "___M". freewheel: Shimano 600 6sp 13-24 tires: Conti Gatorskin 700X23 Again, this bike, despite it's age, is in showroom condition. The only scars are some small scratches on the 53t chainring and a few very tiny nicks in the paint which have been carefully touched up. In the looks department it's better than 95% of the bikes on the road. |

Sometimes you can get more money on eBay when you part out a bike like that, since the frame does not have much collector appeal. Maybe $50 for the frame and $400 for the parts? Just a guess - what you get for the parts will depend on whether you sell each piece separately. Price you can command on eBay will exceed what is customary on this newsgroup. I sold a complete 1970s Nuovo Record bike for about $400 on eBay last year. --Paul |

That's what I was thinking .... I'd make more money by parting out the
bike. I'd really hate to do that, though. If I do decide to go ahead and sell it I'd much rather see it go to someone who intends to ride it. It's a great bike for centuries. |
