1972 Raleigh mixte sport

I don't have pics at this point which makes it difficult to value the bike. I'll be checking it out this evening. What is an old 3 Raleigh 3 speed worth if you are not in a "hot" market (which I'm not)? The leather saddle from the seller's description is pretty much toast and the tires may well need replacing. But otherwise assume the bike is clean as it was kept indoors (per the seller's description). The bike is not a rust bucket project. The bike is for a rider, not a flip, so I'm not looking to make a profit. I'm thinking it's worth $60 as is if the leather Brooks saddle is toast.

I don't think the Sport ever came as a mixte. Probably a step through frame, or maybe a Gran Sport. Sorry, can't help with value.

The Oracle says if it's the ivory white one in your market, it is a pretty sweet looking bike. But that's a Brooks a$$ hatchet vinyl seat, worth about $7.99. Not a mixte, but given condition, I'd easily pay $75-$100 for it as a rider.

I've gotten Raleigh Sprites for way less, but they rattle.
