Can anyone suggest a good offer

I was told you guys may be able to help me make an offer for these two bikes. I would also be interested in offering for just the 1969.

1969 - Raleigh Superbe with a Dyno Hub, Lockable fork, Famous Stormy Archer 3 speed, Full Polished Stainless fenders, Brooks seat, Rear rack, Chain Guard, Side stand

1972 - Raleigh/Rudge Sport - with a Dyno Hub, Famous Stormy Archer 3 speed, Full fenders, Lockable fork, Chain Guard, Brooks seat, Side stand

I haven't seen them in person, but the photos show them in good condition.



Thanks in advance.

It's difficult from those photos to get an idea of the condition of either bike, and condition of paint/parts will make all of the difference in terms of price. Fwiw, that '69 has replacement fenders, which might be an indication of corrosion issues, so I'd want to look at it up close. I also can't tell if that's a leather Brooks or a vinyl mattress saddle (the leather B66 would have been original).

It is Sturmey-Archer, not Stormy, no big deal just thought I'd point it out. Either go look at them in person or ask for close-up photos. +1 with what was said above about paint, etc. being the key. I've seen these go for as little as $30.00 apiece due to poor paint and rusting. In really good shape, I could picture offering $100.00 for the Superbe.
