+1, it appears to be an entry level sport cycle, no older than about 1990. I wouldn't necessarily assume it was Spanish or Dutch. A lot of Italians opened South American bicycle companies and there were some very large ones, like Caloi. I don't know if the South American companies had the same move to Taiwanese manufacturing that much of the bicycle industry experienced in the 1990s but, if so, the serial number may provide a clue to the source.

Yes, many of the parts are generic or lower end Shimano, bit it appears to not have been used much at all. Its for sale for about 80 dollars USD, is it worth that?

I have no appreciation for the market conditions in South America and defer to other forum members.

As for value if everything is in good working order $80 US would be about right for this bike in a lesser market. Looks to be late 90's Giant built bike.
