What is the value of this Raleigh Competition GS in Washington DC?

incazzare.
Looks to be mostly complete and in decent shape. Value depends on the market a bit. In a hot market (which I am assuming DC is?), I'd guess around $400. I bought one a while back with almost no original parts--I was really just buying for the frame--for $175 in NYC, and I think I got the whole bike for the value of the frame.

For me, much of the value is in the Campy set which is good for about $200 (without the brakes) but only if the cranks work for you. The mis-matched wheels will cost you if you want to make them right. Probably a fair deal at $400. They're listed much higher on The Bay but no one's buying them.

$400 might be slightly optimistic, but doable. I've had a few of these before...unless it has a Brooks, I'd take anything over $325.

I would say around $350 is realistic the matched none original wheelset will hold price down some, but not worth changing if your going to sell the bike. I see these listed on Ebay and various CL at much higher prices but they just don't seem to be selling much over $400.
