Value for a really nice one I'll take a stab at and say $1000. Remember, it's just a stab. Something else to remember, this was the third bike down in the A-D line, behind the Superleicht and the Ultima, their top of the line bike.
A lot of the Vent Noir's attraction is primarily from the smoked chrome finish.
Thank You for your insight. It is a Vent Noir (first version, not II).
Second question, would you sell such bikes, in this condition, for $1K, or keep them??
For $1K, my instinct is to keep them, considering the native value. I paid $1000. Each for them new. $1K then = ~$10K now in value. Factoring that in means that I am selling them for next to nothing at $1000. in todays money.
Thanks Much!
