Guess on value, 1983 Raleigh Super Course
I inherited my cousin's, I'm guessing 1983, Raleigh Super Course. I'm trying to get an idea of it's value based on it's current condition. It rides very well, but the frame is fairly scratched and has had a number of modifications. The label stickers were removed but you can still see remnants of Super Course label. It was switched out to a single speed and the handlebars are now a short straight bar, the rear wheel is a mavic aksium race wheel, the front I'm unsure of, Michelin lithion 2 tires, and a very well used selle Italia flite saddle. Any info would be greatly appreciated on what you think this bike would go for.

You are describing a very rough bike. Do you have access to the original components? They might increase the value.

Rough with mismatched wheels and most components gone, $25 to $50.

It's going to be low, if you are wanting to sell it could sit for a while. It could be a good candidate for a second hand store donation.
Good bones for using, Reynolds tubing, can handle bigger tires than others, room for fenders and rack eyelets, forged dropouts. I had one but the brake bridge broke and the fix was beyond my knowledge.
Pic assist:
The tubing may be 555 now that I'm looking at the picture.

$50.00 to someone who needs cheap transportation.
$20.00 to someone who will strip it down to the bare frame and build a geared road bike
