I'll be very blunt and honest when I tell you a Miele is nothing special. Your is in average condition.
Prices of ramesets vary from $125 to $600. My best guesstimate for yours is $200-250.
I'm kind of the defender of the Miele name here in the northeast. Despite being recognized by a small audience, they are very nicely built frames. To say they aren't anything special, well, I ride two of them, a Lupa and a Gara and think they're one of the '80's labels that continue to fly under the radar.
