    Does anyone know how much this bike would be worth? I have the same one, and went into my local bike shop to get the brake cable fixed. The bike guy said it was a collector's item and is worth about £400 sterling. I got it for free so was really surprised to hear this. Can anyone confirm if it's true or not? Thanks

    I highly doubt the value tbh, as it was fairly low end when I got it- steel rims, suicide levers etc, and that's why I wasn't bothered about converting it to Fixed.
