Decent mid range bike, mid 80s (T-mar will have better info, I'm just tiding you over till he gets here) and I'd say the value based on that it looks to be in great shape is $100-150.

I concur with the mid-1980s assessment. Knowing the serial number, make/model of the few components and the tubeset may help. Around this time, the Olympic was sitting on the border of the entry level and mid-range.

After further study, it appears to be a Norco designed Nishki. You wouldn't happen to be Canadian?

Interesting, as it does appear to be a Canadian model. Based on the serial number it should be circa 1985/1986. Olympics during this era were selling for around $300 US. I may be able to narrow the year and price when I get back from vacation and can consult my reference material. PM me in about a week.
