Hi I recently found a 1977 Raleigh Grand Prix in garage of my parents garage after being nagged into doing some spring cleaning for them. They've decided to give it to me and I already have enough bikes, so I'm planning to sell it on Craigslist. How much would be a reasonable price to let this go for?
If I remember correctly my father bought it for a failed diet plan :lol: so it was barely ridden.
It is still completely stock from the catalog and in used but new condition; aside from a few minuscule scratches and some chipping paint off the logo's due to age (color is silver & a baby blue). No rust on anything or pits in the chrome at the fork and back end.
The original gum walled tires have survived quite surprisingly too in the dark garage and haven't cracked.
I cleaned it up and re lubed the components and it works flawlessly.
