1989 Concorde Vectra
Hi. I’d like to get some opinions as to the value of my 32 years old vintage Concorde Vectra. Except for some paint scratches, the bike is in excellent riding condition. It still rides very well and the gears shift smoothly. It has the colors of the late 80’s PDM cycling team’s bike (if I’m not mistaken, Sean Kelly won the first UCI Road World Cup Championship in 89 on a similar looking Concorde). Unfortunately, the forum won’t let me post pictures in here, but I’ve uploaded an album in the Gallery section if you’d like to see it. If somebody could add the pictures in here it would be appreciated as well. Thank you.

Lovely bike! It looks like it has survived three decades very well.
The Vectra was an entry-level bicycle from Concorde and came equipped with Shimano's Exage Sport LX groupset. I think that groupset changed its name to 500EX in the early 1990s and then morphed into Sora at some point. The frameset was made in Taiwan using Concorde's house-branded Ultech chromoly tubing.
As for value, it will depend on what local market you are in. In some markets, Concorde bicycles, especially with the PDM colour scheme, are sought after. In other markets, they are not.
In the white-hot Vancouver, British Columbia market, I think this would sell quickly for somewhere between $350 to $400 CAD ($300 to $350 USD).

I would say about 350CAD only a entry level model but the condition and curb appeal are exceptional for a bike that's 30 years young.
