I'm afraid you'll need to put a price on this.

I'm afraid I don't know what it's worth & seeing no one seems to know the history/make of my racing cycle from my last week's query under Road bikes so I feel it will be difficult to put a price on it so I'll be happy to accept offers from £25 onwards... as long it goes to a good home.
 
I had a Capital bike when I was about 8, from memory I was told it was a continental bike that was at the cheaper end of the cycling spectrum.

Good luck with the sale.
 
Thanks for clarifying Capital being a Continental bike, Brendan & for at the cheaper end of the cycling spectrum, Silverstreak has done pretty well for it's age. :LOL:

I've tried googling, hoping to find some history on Silverstreak to no avail but have often wondered if it was named after the 1976 film Silverstreak as Aly did have the bike during mid-70s.

Is this the Capital Cycles that used to sell Silverstreak? See link: http://www.capitalcycles.co.nz/road-bik ... -c-26.html
