Hello.
Just came across my old bike from the early 70s. It sure was a fun bike! Any thoughts on its value? Thanks

12/71 which is a very desirable bike. The bikes appears to be in excellent condition. $3500 minimum current market price for original paint disc bike

MG is a very desirable disc brake. Bike seems to be in excellent original condition. My opinion in current market minimum $3500 bike

Welcome to the Cabe! All your bikes look in very nice shape. Use the google and enter your model and year. Hopefully you’ll see some for sale or sold. It’ll give you a solid place to start. On this site there is a for sale section. Figure out how much you want and list. The other is deal or no deal. A form of bidding. You should probably read the rules on selling here before proceeding. Decide if you’d like to ship. Good luck however you decide to proceed. Awesome pic of your Dad testing it out!

Thank you for all the information! I will look into those suggestions. And I appreciate the mention of my Dad on the bike - I remember that exact moment like it was yesterday

Great thank you!! To add to the story my "boyfriend" across the street had the exact same one except it was the green model. We used to ride to the donut together (a whole two blocks away lol)

This was your old bike?

You have no idea what it’s worth?
