Yeah I not going to sell it, so whatever it's worth is not a huge deal to me. I like riding it though. My other bike is an off-road mountain bike - that's all I have ever ridden, and also stunt bikes. So the sensation is quite different as the centre of gravity on the Miele is much higher. It's a 10-speed bike, but the gears are not aligned properly (probably due to it sitting in a basement for 10 years), so I have to get that checked out.
I think Miele has gotten more into mountain and all-terrain type bikes, and those cruiser bikes, so their racing models are rarer now.
