Addition:
25 inch frame, 23 inch top tube
I also have a "Paramount" bottle cage. Would that add any value to the bike?

$165 to $175 in my market... large frame sizes are a bit harder to sell. but value depends on season, condition, and location.

Mismatched tires is a negative, rear looks pretty old.

Thanks Bill for the feedback.
I'm assuming that it looks good aside from the cheapskate attempt to save money on the rear tire?

I got lucky and found an '88 World Sport in great shape on CL for $25 about 5 years ago. It got me back onto biking and onto this website. I am a recreational rider and have put a zillion fun miles on it. I was offered $150 for it last summer. I still have it! (The bike, not the $150.)
