1986 Team Fuji 58cm value?
Saw this posted on a not so local craigslist, and it really caught my eye. I believe the seller is some sort of flipper, but the bikes all look really clean and reasonably priced. Whereabouts might you price this one? I believe it is all original (suntour sprint) and ready to ride.

$325 is a little higher than I would have expected, but not by much. I think even here in AL I could sell that quickly for $250, $300 if I wasn't in a hurry.

I have a 1982 Team that I restored and ride regularly, and I upgraded the wheelset to something akin to what you'll find on that 1986, with sealed bearing hubs. It's a very enjoyable ride. The 86 is an upgrade with the Sprint group. If I were selling that bike now, I'd start at $325 - in May, it's $350. If I were buying that bike to ride in very good refurbished condition, I'd be willing to pay $275 any day. It's a step higher than my 1989 Club, which I liked alot, but determined to sell.
Good luck.
Good luck.

It is probably worth something comparable to the 1986 Team Fuji which was recently valuated in this thread: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ight=team+fuji

Grabbed it for $300. felt small on test ride, but I didnt make that long drive to come home empty handed. thought it may have just been the short stem but measured it up to be a 56 
going to slap a 130mm stem on it and ride it around a bit. worst case scenario it seems like i could get my money back easily in the atlanta market. maybe even make some money off of it in spring. orrrrrrr trade it for another frame via this forum.
she sure is a beaut though!
