I just finished going over this one and thought I'd ask about their value. I was thinking it may fetch somewhere above $200 since it is rather unique but I don't know if there is much of a following.

It has a nice smooth ride and has Shimano barcons. Considering some of the heavier components it is still pretty light. It has Titlist derailleurs and pretty nice Shimano large flange hubs.

Thanks for any feedback

The later ones were built by Yamaha motors, still from straight gauge tube and fillet brazed. The rarely go over $200.00

I have an earlier one, white/red with all the odd stuff still in tact.

Yeah, I agree that north of $200 doesn't reflect the usual market value.

I believe that this is the Japanese made bike, not the English made one.
