Villiger Road bike - RH55 - Shimano 105 - What do you think?
Hi all,
I am very new to road biking and currently in talk to buy a vintage road bike for 290€. However, before buying this bike, I would like to have another opinion on the price.
Ad says, the bike is well preserved Villiger racing bike (Switzerland). Equipment complete Shimano 105th chain, cassette, seatpost. Handlebar tape is new. Tires as good as new.
What do you guys think of the price and if the price is high, how low can I ask for? What would it be worth?
Since I ma a newbie, I am not allowed to post Photos/urls. Any idea how to show the pics?

Villiger was a decent brand of bicycles in their day. I don't think €290 ($350 USD) is unreasonable, providing it's in decent shape and no significant repairs or maintenance is needed. It often depends on the market.
