Are those 24" wheels ? --- the bike looks absurdly tall, but then again other things (height of water bottle, height of bike in relation to metal cabinets and car, ) suggests a small wheel bike

Might be 24" I don't really know what size they are. The bike is approximately a 58cm equivalent.

It isn't worth as much as the wants. Unless they are top line like Colnago or Derosa TT bikes usually don't do well. I wonder if this is more of a tri bike rather than a true TT machine.

The bike is a 24" inch wheeled competition bike from the mid 80's these were used for short distance racing mainly time trials and Tri stuff. There not very practical or good as regulars riders or trainers and aren't currently sanctioned for most racing. So the value is really in parts or something a hardcore collector might want. I will say I hate the current setup of flipped dropbar levers lower on odd shaped bars, cheesy tri extendors and ugly disk covered rear wheel. IMHO the bike should really have proper TT specific bars and levers and 24" aero TT wheels to make sense. As presented I would consider it a somewhat interesting and expensive wall hanger worth maybe $300 or so to the right buyer.

TT "funny" bikes are not in great demand in the bike market, as most cyclist consider them as mostly impractical, and mostly unridable bikes. Just note the many such bikes languishing (some for quite a few years already) at eBay, with ridiculous asking prices to boot....
Unless you find a buyer out there that will be competing soon in a TT (on decades old equipment??). You might end up just selling them for relative peanuts as interesting wall hangers/conversational pieces.....unless maybe the TT bike might have some really historical provenance (winning pro team bike or record setting bike?), then it could be a very different story, but it it will still m9st likely be a non-rider.....
