What is a fair asking price for a

complete build set from my Nishiki road bike? The components will consist of Shimano SIS Exage Sport 6 speed RD, double FD, 170mm crank arms with 130 BCD, 68mm BB, F&R Brake calipers, F&R aero brake levers with original hoods,down tube indexed shifters, all cables are new housings included, additionally two 700c aluminum alloy 36 spoke rims that have been trued within the last month. Front hub/rim is a Sugino/Araya, rear is Millard/Millard with 13-26 freewheel is as new condition, original chrome skewers as well. Forgot to mention a 52/42 Biopace ring set will come with the package. I think it would be a great set for someone looking to restore a vintage frame. The components function perfectly. I was going to photograph and list on eBay. What say you all? Lp

$10 to me. Much, much more to anyone else.

I'd go to the Classic & Vintage forum and ask them.

And Mojo has already outbid me.

Do an e-bay search of auctions already completed for complete Nishiki steel bikes. Most went for $100 or less.

One way to find the correct price is to list something on Ebay as a no reserve auction. Wail patiently, watch closely and behold, the final bid will define the proper price.
