Miele Lupa, what would be a good price to ask (pics inside)

I am thinking of selling this bicycle, and need some expert opinion on what I can get for it

Miele Lupa (1993 or 1994)

Columbus Frame (almost like new)

Fully equipped with Shimano 105

Italian Rims (Ambrosio) - no clue if they are good or not, perhaps someone can tell me more about them











Thanks for Your Input

I'll start the bidding at $3.50!

It appears to be my size.

I'm in the NYC metro area. Could probably sell it for $200-$300 here. But that was before the recession hit hard...haven't sold a bike for a while and I'm not sure where the VLW market is headed.

It would probably go north of $300 in this locale, though it might not sell very quickly... It looks like a low-mileage bike, maybe you could offer $200 and use the sad plastic pedals for bargaining leverage?

OP is the seller, not the buyer.

But yeah, those pedals really are quite godawful.

Cromor + 105 = "Eh."

The prices listed here are quite fair, but in a poor market, I'd be happy to get $200 for it. The excellent condition presents the venue to ask the high price, but the bike itself is lower mid-range - not too inspiring.
