Hmm… It’s probably on the pricier side for what it is. Based on the house it’s leaning up against, is this in Chicago? In small markets, it’d probably be a $150-$250 bike. In a larger market, I’d offer $300. The Tiagra components it’s equipped with weren’t even that nice when it was new. This was like one step above Sora, which at this time, was crap. Sora is quite nice today (so is Tiagra).
That wouldn’t be worth more than $200 to me.
This is worth $150-$200 max and has a carbon fiber yoke forming the rear seatstays which is a poor design choice that quickly fell out of favor in the 2000’s. It also has extremely limited tire clearance based on the frame and current brake set, I would be surprised if it could clear a tire larger than 25mm.
