Hey all, I hope this is the right place to post this...
I am looking for advice about a track bike I would like to sell. It is a 1984 Team Miyata pista, in near perfect condition, all Dura-Ace components (7500 I believe), with later model dura ace aero stem and dura ace seat post and array aero rims. It also has a brand new Turbo saddle on (never ridden, bought to stick on for resale and authenticity) and the original Vittoria Servizio Corsa Cronometro tubulars that look worn (aged but still have near perfect tread.)
It was ridden three winters, always indoors at the Montreal Olympic stadium track and hasn't been ridden in at least 25 (or more like 30!) years.
What do you think it's worth, given it's collector's status? I was thinking of posting it for $2000 - too steep, too low?
About 10 years ago I saw the exact same bike, but in mediocre condition, on sale online from Germany for 1000 USD, and last year I saw a very dinged same era frame for sale on eBay for 900 USD - that is sort of what I am basing my price on, but would like some input.
Thanks,
Jbyke
