I have a 1972 Pan World Grand Sport that I bought new back in '72. It's always been kept in the house. I have someone interested in buying it, and I'm not sure what to charge. The bike shop told me about $125.00. Any thoughts on it would be appreciated.

Thanks for any help.

$125 sounds about right. What are the rims made out of (steel or aluminum)? If they are steel, $125 would be pushing it a little bit (they look to be aluminum). Components, stem shifters, etc., point to an entry level bike.

RD cable needs a little TLC.

Hi,
Yeah they are aluminum. I just had it in a couple years ago for a tuneup, and haven't ridden it since. The seat alone cost me $100.
RD cable? Sorry I'm not that up on the part names.

The cable is fine, you are seeing wires from the other side of the bike, that's a light I put in it and the wires are just wrapped around the frame. I think that's what your talking about.
