Where are you located? It sound like a NON-U.S. model.
Regardless, its an entry level bike with what appears to be steel wheels and extension levers. $75-100. If it has aluminum wheels maybe $150-175.
+1 Steel rims, stem mounted shifters, nutted axles, kickstand, turkey levers, very likely gas pipe frame. Bottom end bike.
$75 to $100 in totally clean, ready to ride condition unless you are in one of those super hot markets.

I'm in the US I got the bike from the gym I go to, someone abandoned it on the bike rack so the workers just gave it to me.
The top of the down tube says Mangaalloy HLE
And the wheels say Rioida Superchromix Made in france
hope this helps.

I know this might sound stupid but shouldnt steel rims weigh a lot? The ones on this bike weigh a lot less then the aluminum ones i have on my mountain bike.

Yes, road aluminum rims should weigh less than road steel rims. But you can't compare them easily to with mountain bike rims.
Just put a magnet to them. If it sticks, they're steel.

Ha well it stuck but I just took off all the unnecessary stuff and gave it a wash and it rides a lot better then any bike I've ever ridden in fact I even broke some of my records on it so I think ill take it in for a tune up this weekend.
P.S Thanks everyone for all your help.
