I know these are not vintage bikes. Just wondering what they are worth. The Blue one is a Cannondale and the other is a Miata. I guessing late 70's or early 80's on them.

To get an better guess on value you'll want to get a list of the components that are on them. Closeup pics of them help, too.
Are you selling or buying?
If buying, are they to keep or to resell?

+1 Big difference in components, lots of grades. Try Flickr (free web site) and they will host larger pictures that show the details.
Pictures of the drive side (the Miyata) are a lot more revealing than pictures from the other side (the Cannondale).
Components all have date codes that are posted on the vintage Trek site.
+1 Value is really dependent on where you live. There are hot areas like San Fran that are 2X to 3X what I see bikes go for around here.
In general, Cannondales and Miyatas are both well respected and have good value.

+1, The Miyata is a triple butted chromoly frame. I think it has index shifting and I'd guess late 80's. The Cannondale looks like an early aluminum (pre cantilever rear drop outs). It looks like it has friction shifters and the older brake pads that were contained in a metal support with heat deflectors.
We need more information to give you a value like model names, close up of the drive train, area where you live. But these are nice bikes. I really like that Miyata.

Im in Texas. A friend of mine has them in his shed they are one owner. The comp look cheap on both of them but I have only been into cycling for a couple of years so I don't know much about the older stuff. He tried to sell me those 2 bikes and a little Raliegh road bike for $500 for all 3. I wanted the Miyata but its just too small.

$150 each on the street. The Miyata is a decent all around solid sport bike.
