Raleigh Criterium price check
I'm taking a look at a Raleigh Criterium later and wanted some feedback on its value as I'm not familiar with this model.
Its reportedly in mint condition and fully fitted with Shimano 600 Arabesque components.
The asking price is 400 but I've a feeling somewhere closer to 300 is a more realistic value.
Thoughts?

I never met a vintage road bike that I didn't love. A quick check brought up one (Criterium) on this very forum 4 years back found for $30, but then condition is everything and location too. There appears to be a great disparity between yard sale prices and craigslist prices for obvious market impact reasons. I'm just glad that alternative transportation is picking up, so a feeling of urgency now is current with demand increasing. OBO you know.
