what's this bike worth?
Just wondering... I found a bike on craigslist.
How much would YOU pay for a 1980 Fuji Gran Tourer SE? Here is a picture of the model in question: http://www.classicfuji.com/GranToure..._1980_Page.htm And here are the specs: http://www.classicfuji.com/1980_17_S...ions2_Page.htm I haven't even looked at it yet, so I don't know how it fits or if it's in good condition. What would you pay for it, assuming it was in good condition, and assuming it fit reasonably well? |
Assuming that it is in ride ready condition, meaning fresh grease, new cables, good tires, new bar tape, fresh paint etc. I would say 150ish. A lot depends on what market you live in. If the bike is in rough shape I would pay 40-50 max.

That's where people who will have opinions for you will be looking to provide them. |

Well, I went there today and took the bike out for a test ride, and gave it a good inspection. It's in surprisingly good condition. The front derailler is a little bit off, but that's about it. I will clean it up, adjust the derailleur, slide up the brake levers so I can reach them easier, (maybe buy some fenders) and then I will have a pretty nice commuter (better than my front suspension walmart mountain bike that's way too small).
I want to go riding now, but I have to work! I paid $80. I am pretty sure I will get that much value from it. |
Smokin' good deal at that price. Congrats!
