1979 Centurion Super Le Mans
I picked up 2 1979 Centurion Super Le Mans today. They were bought as a pair and the yellow one was only ridden a few times and the blue one was ridden for about a season. They both have all the original parts, Araya rims w/ Suzue sealed hubs, dia-compe brakes and levers, sakae Silstar cranks, and pretty much everything else is Suntour. I don't know much about road bikes but they are in really good condition and were only $40 a piece so I grabbed them. Can anyone give me an idea what they are worth? I am in the Boston area if that helps any. Thanks.

Good deal. About $150-200 in ready to ride condition as are (in that smaller size, with barcons, frame pumps and alloy wheels with QRs -btw, you might want to flip the front wheel of the yellow bike) . Great find.

Given the condition I would think 150 is on the low side and 200 would be more like it.
Though I have seen them for even less than 100, I think with a little patience it could even be on the leeward side of 200.

In ready to ride condition, $225 each in your market, maybe a tad more. +1 Flip front wheel on the yellow bike (QR on wrong side).
