Miele hybrid bike

Hello guys. I picked up this Miele. I've been told it was early 1990s.

Tires are 26" x 2", steel. It has 18 speeds.

The bike weighs around 17.5 kg. (heavy!)

How much is this thing worth?

Hello gasndlaksdn, welcome to the forums. Nice looking bike but it is a ATB, a lower end mountain bike rather than an hybrid.

If you just picked it up, why do you need to know what its worth? Would have paid more? If I said it was worth $1000 would you give the seller more money?

Lowend ATBs like that usually go for $50-100 in clean ready to ride condition depending on timing and location. Near a warm college campus in Sept you might get a bit more.

In my opinion it's not worth much. It's what's commonly referred to as a BSO Bicycle Shaped Object. The lack of a rear derailler hanger on tthe frame and the super El Cheapo dropouts points to a department store type thing. I never knew Miele made bike of that low a quality.

Cheers from Miele Man

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I wanted to know the price to get an idea of the quality of the bike. Since it's low end, I guess it'll make a good beater/commuter bike.
