Performance Bike
A neighbor passed away and his family asked for help in selling off some of his bicycle paraphernalia...I'm sitting on a few boxes of vintage goodies, plus a PX-10, a nice early 70's CNC racer, a Santana tandem and then this curious animal, of which I have no knowledge. I wonder if anyone here knows of this bike. Its all aluminum, from Performance Bikes, CORSA pantographed on the seat stays, well- equipped with Shimano 600 pretty much throughout. I'll try to sell it locally (San Francisco Bay Area) The previous owner was a founder of the LA cycling club, La Grange. Thanks for your input.

That looks a lot like my Vitus.
So depending on its components, people on here said mine was worth $300.00. I choose to keep it.
It should have the size stamped in the head tube on the left side.

Personally, I think $300.00 is way too low for a nice example. Especially with better-than-average components. Be careful on estimates because some are offered by those who will suggest what THEY would pay for it, not what the market is. Location matters, condition matters and of course size matters. Whether they get the price or not, I've seen Vitus aluminum frames listed anywhere from $450.00 and up.
Suggest you do research by checking eBay completed sales. Not asking prices but what they actually got.
