That was a nice bike when new!

I bought and sold one of those way back when and here in Montreal they sold for $1,000CDN.

I guess `value` is relative. If I was looking for a touring bike I`d jump on one of those for long before putting out $1,500 today for a Kona Sutra. Everything it was designed to do then it`ll still do today.

I guess its hard to sell older bikes to most people, but IMO thats their problem. Cromoly framesets don`t age the same way carbon fibre will and and `new` doesn`t always mean better.

Are you looking to flip this or restore and use it?
