Need Help Figuring Out Value of Bike
I have a bicycle that I would like to sell as it is unfortunately too small for me. I am trying to determine a fair price as I am hoping to use the money to get something my size.
The bike is an Atala red bicycle. I don't see any series name or number aside from the logo. It has Weinmann brake parts, 27 x 1 1/4 wheels, and Shimano pedals. I appreciate any assistance anyone can give.
Best,

It looks like an entry level bike. Paint is pretty decent tho. I would advertise at $150 and accept best offer.

I agree with Insidious C. - the bike is, pretty much, entry level and it nice visually. I would list it for $200 and accept $150. Bikes seem to be regaining their popularity, these days (spring, virus, isolation are all contributing to used bicycle sales - my opinion).

Very location specific. Around here, about half of the above. $150 will buy a pretty nice 105 DT shifter bike right now. Hopefully your market is better!!

That would sell at $135-175 very very quickly, in Seattle. That's the price I set for the early Centurions and completed bikes with claw rd and dual brake levers. That's cleaned up and serviced, most people buying that type usually don't know mechanics are happy to pay. With the lockout time that we're are in you can probably get more but that would take time and not much gain.
Unserviced, about $40

That looks like a $100 bike tops "as - is" from here. Slap some new tires, chain, handlebar tape and re-grease the bearings then maybe $200. It's definitely a small frame female friendly size. Should sell pretty fast.
