| Time capsule My neighbor showed me a bike that she has for sale for $100. It's a 1980 Motobecane Super Touring Mixte that has NEVER BEEN RIDDEN since it was brought home from the store. Vitus double butted steel, Stronglight triple crank, Suntour VX deraileurs, Mafac brakes, immaculate paint, all original except the tires, even the braking surfaces are shiny. I really don't need another bike, especially another 27" wheel bike, but this one is so perfect it's hard to refuse. What could I do with it? |

Hi, on the same topic, I just talked to a guy who has a 80's Schwinn Peleton with Columbus tubing and Suntour components. He says the bike is in great shape and well maintained. Also claimed that it weighs about 16 lbs, I doubt that. He is riding a recumbent now, back problems. I haven't seen the bike, my guess is the frame size would be in the 54 -56 range. The owner of one of our LBSs told him that it isn't worth anything, because it has down tube shifters. I don't need and can't afford another bike, but I would like to give the guy some decent info, on its value. Any info, will be appreciated. Life is Good! Jeff |
