What is a 20yr old Muddy Fox Courier, 40k miles on the clock worth

[very good condition, rims and spokes replaced a few tears ago, chainrings
good, new block, jockey wheels good, mudguards, Blackburn rack, Nordlich
dynamo, good front and rear lamps for dynamo, Scott ATB bars, saddle well
worn, but a lycra cover works well] also included was a new rear mech and
block as spares.

clive

I was going to say £10-20 based on what similar sells for at the York
Cycle Auction - so I guess that means £50-100 on ebay ;-)

I've got a 1987 model sat in my bike shed, but my LBS said the components
were non standard and not worth replacing, so it will probably go on the tip
when I get round to it.

Non standard ? What components does it have. What standard do you need
? The BB shell the head tube and the canti bosses are all that I can
think of. Where are you ?

Probably "legacy" is a better word - I think it only had a six speed
casette!

Probably has a chainstay-mounted U-brake at the rear (the bosses aren't
compatible with normal cantilevers), a JIS headset and a narrow rear end.
Nothing insurmountable, but neither would it really be an economically
viable project at shop prices. Might make somebody a reasonable
commuter/cruiser/singlespeed/hack though.

every bike in serviceable condition is worth £30, add tenners for any
useful extras (dynamo lamps & a rack qualify).

if selling it at work then reject stingy offers from those who want to
haggle hard, its the time of year when (less money-focused) folk will
pay a fair sum to cycle in the sunny months.
