Don't know what it is worth(probably not much). I have one that I have about $75 in it. Makes a good daily rider. Do you remember what you paid for it new?

I think it was $269.00 or maybe as low as 239.00 can't remember, I do know it was in between the two figures

What other bikes were in this price range way back when?
I am not very well versed in all the ins and outs of bicycles, but someone else some where on this forum said that these were a POS or words to that effect. What makes them so?
Thanks

Some would say that about my 74 Motobecane Nomade also. I vaguely recall the Nomade cost around $150 new.

One man's POS is another man's treasure. Someone here said if you love your bike that's all that matters.

Sorry Ohio, the Concords don't have any value other than your sentiment. I used to have one, but the frame was in bad, bad shape. I parted it out and made a few bucks. Mine was from the 70's when they had really good components on them. What brand/model derailleurs, brakes, cranks, stem, handlebars, etc. are on yours? Can you post a picture?
