Awesome . I was hoping one of you bike guys would comment on the bike. I know little about it other than my 82 old MIL bought it new back in the day and used to do the Michigander road rally back in the 80s.

Puch I know but Zefal? She was going to give it to goodwill I said here's a 100 bucks and it's hung there ever since.

I don’t “think” it’s one of the highly sought after vintage names but I’m not an expert on values. If you want to sell it, r esearch https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/

It doesn’t look high end from this angle. Take a photo of the drivetrain side. Does the green/gold decal at the top of the fork stay say Reynolds 531? In which case it’s a quality frame with mid-level components . Maybe it’s worth the $100? Where are you located?

Zefal is the frame pump.

Ah gotcha. Thanks.

Not intrested in selling, wife’s kinda attached to it and it’s cool to0 me. People have told me the add ins are worth more than the bike.

Thanks for the info got my wife back intrested in it. Might have to get some tires for it now

Yeah, that frame is awfully small - not surprised it was your MIL and now your wife’s bike.

If she does any serious riding, upgrading to clipless pedals are huge.

I’m still interested in a photo of the drive side.

I didn’t mean to say I was interested in buying it if you thought that when I asked ‘where are you located?”. I have too many bikes. I was thinking I could see the bike in person if you were nearby and give you more info - completely forgetting the “stay at home” order just instituted in CO. This is hard to get used to.

If you do get around to it, focus on the drivetrain.
