81 Schwinn Super Le Tour/ 1st year(83) Cannondale SR 500
81 Super Le Tour
Components:
12 speed, UKAI alloy box rims (27" x 1 ),
Shimano low-flange quick release, free hub rear hubs, .080 straight gauge
spokes, Speacilized Touring II tires, Shimano Altus LT derailleurs
(F&R), Sugino Super Maxy crank set 170 mm arms, 39-52 chainrings, Shimano
free hub (13-28) six speed freewheel, KKT alloy quill pedals with toe clips
and straps, SR LaPrade (25.4) seatpost, SR CTD
Custom handlebars, SR CT Custom stem, Dia Compe 500 G brakes,
weight 27 pounds.
83 (AA serial number) Cannondale SR 500
Components are Shimano 600 all around(including wheels). Belleri engraved handlebars, Miche pedals, also has a rear alum. rack.(21 lbs I think)
Both in way above average, stock with some frame garage scratches.
Anybody have a ball park on each? (I also have the toeclips)
Thanks. (I started a post in classics regarding both bikes and which to chose)
Getting a value on each will also help my decision.

schwinn = 100-150
cannondale = 250-300
could be a lot more or a lot less depending on where you live. the letour was not made with columbus when it first came out so its pretty stock tubing. also the schwinn name can be iffy sometimes because of all the so-so bikes out there
cannondale is more of a name people recognize as quality. 600 group is quite nice i think. and the weight would make it quit a bit better. Im not super great at this game so if my estimates get quickly shot down, ignore them.

Schwinn might garner as much as $175, looks really clean. If you are in a decent bike market, I would start around there.
+ Cannondale $250 to $300. Sometthing looks a little wacky on that RD cable routing. I would be tempted to keep the Cannondale if it is the right size.
Around here, hard to get over the $300 mark unless it is either a brifter bike or a touring bike.
