1978 Raleigh Competition GS
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum. Just getting back into cycling, and really am interested in either selling, or trading subject bike in for a good woman's bike. It is all original except it is on it's second set of tires. So, the bike does need to have the handlebars rewrapped. I have three pictures I've downloaded to show condition. I just posted the bike on Craigslist (South Jersey). Thanks for any assistance, or guidance.

I suggest $200.00 at best and $150.00 at least. That is a pretty bike BTW! Sometimes I look at used bike prices and ask why. Some want $400.00 for a bike like that. Well, have they looked at https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/road_bikes.htm and compared their steed to a contemporary road selling on bike's direct lately?
If you want to just get rid of it and make someone happy in the process, sell it for $75!

Does the GS refer to Campy Gran Sport? If so, some of those components are becoming harder to buy than the equivalent [Campy] Record. If so, don't be giving that bike away.

Yes, just about everything on the bike is Campagnolo, the bike weighs less than 20 pounds.

Are you sure you posted in S Jersey? I see a 73 there. But not yours.

You are correct, I guess after picking up a 30 pound bike, I really felt this one to be significantly lighter. My bad!!

I sold the same bike for $400 in the dead of winter in Chicago. In summer, I'd get $500.

Needs better pictures, use photobucket or flickr and put full size pictures into your C/L ad. Will sell regardless at that price. Expect it to be reposted in a couple of weeks, with full sized pictures and a higher price.
Google full sized pictures Craigs List and it will walk you through the process.
Good luck!!!
