lots sold. Condition and size will guide the value.
one has to be very careful spending cash to refurbish, easily come equal to the transaction value, as a basic bike- ok.
Thanks Repechage for the detailed response. Would you know if the last 3 numbers represent the order of production as in this bike was the 27th bike produced and does that have any value added to the bike? What would be the desirable size for this bike? for a average condition bike would you have an idea of its value.
Thanks
Mike
