Info on selling or trading Centurion Comp TA
Hi. I'm considering selling or trading my bike and wanted to get information about how much it might be worth and what would be a fair trade for it. It's a Centurion Comp TA with Shimano 600 parts (one Dura Ace shift lever). I have the original saddle and I've done nothing to change the bike since I came to own it except for getting new tires. I'm considering getting rid of it because it doesn't fit me (it's a bit too big). Pictures are attached. Let me know if you need to see pics of something specific that I haven't included. Thank you!

That's a solid $250 bike "as - is". Don't bother putting any new parts on it. You'll never recover your investment.

^I think ol ramrod is a matching set of wheels and new bar tape away from a solid $250. You can give it a shot but the badly matched wheels bring it down closer to $175-$200 for me. The rust on the cable eyelet will spook some buyers as well.

Still learning
Needs a lot of work and mismatched parts. $150 around here as is.

Thank you for your replies. That's about where I thought I'd be, estimate-wise. However, I'm confused about the claim of badly matched wheels. The wheels look the same to me. Can you elaborate?

The front wheel is anodized gray with a badly worn brake track. Unsure of brand, maybe NISI? The rear is a Sun CR18 in silver finish. Probably close in size and you won’t feel a real difference in the ride, just not an aesthetic you’d pay market price for.
