what would bump the price up?
1. Clean it up and get it in ready to ride condition: cables, tires, tubes, grease bearings, and so on.

2. Do a nice job on your marketing wherever you choose to sell it.

3. As is you would be hard pressed to get $100 for it around here.

4. Consider putting original parts back on, and then sell the new parts separately.

5. Make sure seat post is not stuck.


Clean, with original parts, ready to ride, $125 to $150, depending on condition of frame and paint and where you are located.

Correction: Are the rims alloy? I am assuming they are, if not, cleaned up the bike would top out at $100.

I have sold two Carbolite Peugeots in the last six months, really clean ones, for the price range I mentioned above. Both had alloy rims.
