Bridgestone 700 1985
Looking to get idea of what my 1985 Bridgestone 700 (Fire Red) might be worth before I put it up for sale. No upgrades, everything original, no accidents, good shape. Appreciate your input.
Thank you.
Thank you.

This'll probably get bumped into the valuations forum. https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...th-appraisals/
FWIW- you'll need to include the size and your location. Some sizes are more desirable than others. Some areas command better prices than others. You can get a general idea by going to the eBay and finding out what bikes like yours have sold for- not what people have them listed for.

Sounds like a nice bike. Hard to value without pics. ‘85 catalog bills the 700 as having geometry for the serious triathlete. Makes me think it probably feels like a Centurion Ironman.
If it’s clean, dent free and just needs the usual consumables (tires, bar wrap, chain, etc.), I’ll guess $200-$225. If it’s ready to roll with fresh consumables, more like $250-$300.

I'm so sorry- I read the original post and title as T700, not 700. Big difference- I edited my post.

Prices for the Ironman have dropped around here and the Ironman would tend to get a better response. What is the component group on the B’stone?

Sounds like a nice small red bike. It would all depend on condition, how nice the wheels are &, if it's light enough to carry inside.
As is with 35 year old tires and bar tape in NYC you could probably snag $225.
