I have a friend that I work with who has an old bike, which he bought brand new, rode about a dozen times, and than buried it in the back of his shed for the last twenty years. He said the bike is still in great shape.

Any idea what the bike would be worth?

Ballpark would be good.

I just don't want to rip him off.

Give him 50 bucks or something of yours that he likes, IMO.

Unless you post pics.

I just paid $100 for an '84 Mirage Sport. In good shape though.
