Classic & Vintage - Miele Gara Triathlon info request

Every year our local church restores donated bikes for Christmas gifts for kids and every year we receive one quality bike that is exceptional. Last year it was a Basso and this year it is a Miele Gara Triathlon. We are going to offer it for sale later so we can get more parts for the other bikes and I was hoping someone here might know fair market value. It has Shimano 600 components and based on the codes is a 1993 model. It is in good condition and does not look like it has ever been down, Minor nicks near chain and slightest amount of rust specks in the the chrome. Everything looks original and it has in interesting front derailleur mount which you can see in the picture. Thank you in advance for any help and happy holidays.

Hrm, hard to say an exact price but I can tell you that it is Canadian made, not Italian, as many people might think. What does the Columbus sticker say? I'd bet that you could get 200$USD on a good day, mabye 150$USD if someone really wants to haggle with you.

Thank you for the fast relpy. The on the chrome fork the Columbus sticker says "COLUMBUS Forcella Originale" and and the frame is says "COLUMBUS Tubi Renforzati Garentiti Acciaio Speciale". Thank you.

You have misread or misinterpreted the date codes. The components are from 1986-1987. The bicycle is a good match for the 1987 model. FYI, original price was $695 US. Current value will depend on the local market conditions and the mechanical and cosmetic condition. The last looks very good, so I'd assume the same for the mechanical condition. You should certainly fetch the price range mentioned by Jet. If you're in a large market, I'd mark the price higher, $250-$300. Can I bother you for the serial number? TIA.
