1993 Cannondale T700 - How much is it worth?
I picked this up on Craigslist today. Paid just under $200 for it and an a Nashbar trunk bag. Its my size, so its a keeper, but was sort of curious to its worth.
Mechanically it seems in good shape, all Deore XT parts with Dia Comp cantis. Wheels are Deore XT hubs with Ritchey rims. Paints pretty clean also.

Around here, $350+/- in totally cleaned up, new bar tape, cables, bearings, grease, ready to ride condition. That value is in season. Right now, the deals are somewhat better. I have sold two Cannondale touring bikes this year.
Other than the bar tape (cheap fix), the bike appears to be in excellent condition. Nice buy!

Yeah, the bar tape is gross, but otherwise its a 'beut. Brakes need adjusting, but everything else seems rather sound. That is fairly uncommon for my craigslist finds.

Not sure the year of mine, but I got this one....
this summer for....well, a bit less...but felt EXTREMELY lucky to have done so. (mine still has down-tube shifters...which is OK, imho....all Deore components & came with the racks + bags....the GPS and light I added, but it did have a nice compass tethered one of the front bags!) My 'round-the-block-or-so test ride ended up being a 45 mile adventure along the FL coast because it was such nice riding bike. I wouldn't be likely to sell mine for any price a sane person would offer.

I don't know your local market conditions, which greatly affect value, but $200 would be a good price even in depressed markets. Original MSL was $935 US.
