Terry Style Road Bike - Norco "Lady Sport"...
This Norco "Lady Sport" is in good shape, mechanically and structurally. Cosmetically, the paint/art has suffered fading and, needless to say, paint chips/scratches. What value would you put on this bike which includes, frame, fork, headset, bottom bracket and original wheel set..?
The "Lady Sports" measurements are...
Seat Tube (c-c) - 47cm
Top Tube (c-c) - 48cm
Stand Over Height (approx) - 71cm
I plan, perhaps, to offer this set on the For Sale forum...

I'm thinking $100 for everything as pictured. It's a dwindling market right now, and this is a niche product.
Personally, I love the 24"/700c wheel combo. I built up a 24/700 Terry Solstice for Mrs. BG a decade ago as a commuter bike, and she loved it.
The small front wheel results in very zippy steering. It's a revelation if you've not ridden a bike like this before.
But on the downside, you've got to stock two sizes of tires and tubes, and of the two, 24" much harder to find. I remember buying a couple spare 24" tubes for the Terry just in case. If she would have had a blowout, finding another 24" tire might have taken awhile.

I know what you mean about 24" tires. The problem, once understood, caused me to give up on the Norco, which was purchased for my oldest grand daughter. Lucky for her. I ran across this Trek and that will be on its way to Winnipeg in a week, or so, along with a rebuild Velo Sport for her partner in life...

Very nice! A round tube aluminum Trek with brifters - that's a much easier bike to live with. Your granddaughter should be very happy.

I got the little used Trek for a very low price and (lucky for me/her) I even have a near perfect Richey saddle which I installed after this picture was taken...

A good friend and fellow forums member gave me this Velo Sport "Prestige" which I refurbished for my grand daughter's partner in life...

And, I gave my Marinoni "Piuma" to my grand daughter's dad...

Now, I really gotta get a chain to complete my latest Marinoni find. Gonna change the handlebar and stem combo pictures. The Nitto stem and handlebar, harvested from the Norco "Lady Sport" will be perfect...
