Yeah, you have to break up the URL so it's not recognizable. Put some spaces in there as shown.

Pic Assist. Yes this is nice, not uber rare or expensive but somewhat desirable. Perhaps it's been modified? TA crank and maybe a Huret Challenger or Eco gears? Look for a date mark on the crank.

Are those Bluemels fenders? They are getting harder to find, especially in white. I would be interested in knowing the serial number of your frame and on what location it is stamped.

The wheels with Dunlop special lightweight rims are almost certainly original to the bike. The other components I'm not so sure. The diameter of the seatpost is a good indicator of frame quality- or quality of the tubes anyway. Some of these old British lightweights have butted Reynolds tubes despite the plain dropouts and claw mounted rear derailleurs. My hunch is that is case with your Armstrong. Value is pretty modest - $150 maybe $200 US where I live.

150-200 $ for a whole bicycle ? i think that is good price. Thank you for your help , i will also wait for more information. :)

I think Insidious has it right. The wheels, brake levers, bars,and stem are original. Otherwise it's a mish-mash of parts. A steel Solida cottered crank with TA rings? Campy fd with a Titlest rd?
If you cleaned up the rims, you could likely get $200 for them alone but they don't really add much to the value of the whole bike. Nice Bluemels could also get $100 on a good day.
What do you want to do with it...ride it?

Eski1985 04-29-21 10:32 AM

If i wanna decide sell it 100 british pound will be a good price ?
Or i should restore it and that will give a loot biger price ?

Bikes tend to be money pits. It's difficult to recover any money you put in to fix it up. Collectors like original paint even if there are chips and scratches so painting is almost never a good idea. Better to sell as is or part out as clubman explained above.
