A Steel Performance Superb
Another vintage road bike I was looking at for riding around the neighborhood.
I always enjoyed the weird finds at Performance, and I was sad to see them go.
A Performance Superb with Shimano 600 tri color. (Apparently the Superbs usually came with Suntour?)
thoughts?

Pedal to the medal
Performance bikes are great values because they're great bikes with limited cache, eg people don't pay big bucks for them but they're well built, nicely spec'ed bikes. I recently built up a Performance Strada for a friend. It had mish-mash parts and Tange 2 tubing and it rode so well I almost considered keeping it.
The subject bike, if we were recently greased, lubed, and had new-ish consumables, I would expect to sell for $200 in my local market, slightly more on the auction site. If needed need an overhaul subtract $50-$100.
