giani motta

I recently sold my trek 7000 for 180 so I am happy with that but now I have an older model giani motta with the tubeless sew up tires it needs new tires so since the frame colors are red and yellow I want to put on yellow tires the bike says giani motta personal . I am wondering if this would be worth something that is if I want to sell it . I did the high point 100 on the n shore in high school now 50 on a basic Ross 10 speed after me and my friend were finished I hopped on his high performance bike and what a diference

Probably it will take a good photo or seven to get the discussion going. Especially with valuations, you don't want to keep people guessing as to how the bike is looking these days.

Switch the tubular rims for clinchers and then pick your yellow tires. Using sew-ups can be costly if you are unlucky with flats. Will you up the value of the bicycle for resale - probably not enough to recoup the expense of new wheels and tires, in my opinion.
