How much is my road bike (or parts of) worth?

[bikeworkshop]

It's the sort of thing best put on an ebay auction.
It's an unlikely part to fake, as there are multiple materials and technologies involved.
An eBay user will advise if they look like a copy.

As New condition toestraps could easily be very desirable, and the 50th anniversary kit is a focus of collectors.

The buttons can sell for £30, and straps alone £70+

it could go way higher.

If you do list them, please post the link so we can watch

@bikeworkshop thanks for the insight. I do not use ebay; but I will list on Craigslist (US). I had a friend who sold on ebay for me, but that ended with ebay's fee increases and their incorporation of sales taxes regardless of where item was purchased from, or where the buyer is located (e.g. I get charged Florida sales tax for an item I buy overseas when living in a State a 1200 miles away from Florida). Craigslist: no tax, no fees, and no shipping (unless seller is willing ship).



Just did search on ebay for those straps: none listed; regular NOS Camp. leather straps w/o end tabs running $80-$200/pr. I might have to find another seller on ebay for potentially the best return; but I cannot stomach giving ebay another penny given their revenue intake off of sellers' opening account fees, sales fees, insane "global shipping" program costs, and advert income; as well as improper tax collection, poor customer service, and/or ineffective removal of fraudulent/unethical sellers. Still down $1000 from using ebay!

Crap! Another search has the same straps (NOS pair w/buttons) for £16/€13 (site is not price consistent); but shipping is nearly 1.5-2 times as much as item cost; but still under $50 USD total cost so not sure what is up with that price compared to ebay prices on non-50th anniv. straps. Now not sure what their value is given the research and your feedback. Also, a bit dubious of the site where I found the low cost set.

Perfect analysis of ebay

Sadly often what we find turns out to be more common than we hoped.

They don't come up very often so....

I've got some Royce hubs. 32h, mid flange front and Venus rear, campag 9/10/11 speed body with the tools for injecting grease into the rear. Any thoughts? I was thinking something starting with a 2 might be about right.

I always check thrift, antique, and junk shops; also yard sale, etc. and in 40 years this might be the best find for the money. Found in a shop and bought for $20 US. In excellent condition (light chrome loss at handle bend) and the 40s version to boot. Shop keeper unaware of anything other than name on it. No other pieces found; but left my name and number just in case he uncovers something.

Since this is going to be swapped out with one on a bike that is not as nice; I'm wondering what the assembly goes for in a bit rougher state (some rust, but still about 6-7 out of 10) as I will get rid one the spare (got 2 cambio corsa bikes complete; no need for leftover part).

I figure ebay is outrageous so not looking there as it is probably selling for the same or more than what I bought an entire "cc" bike for; but it certainly could help offset other purchases not so frugally obtained so not going to give the poorer condition one away either. I figure about 20% less in value than the one I just got in the images; but where to start? I have no idea of the cost of the "new" one since I never needed any parts except for aesthetic improvement when pieces found. I guess I could still use one as a QR only; would look like a fake "P-R" set-up.
