| Been looking for some Rigida rims - box-section aluminum hooked-bead rims, red or blue label. Need two 700C for my '61 Paramount (year of the actual rims not important) and a single 27" for my Trek 610 (the one I presently have on the rear has a nagging flat spot in it. If anyone has some on hand, let me know - post a reply. Thanks! Take care, -Kurt (cudak888 on BikeForums.net) by: 74.233.53.241 |

Can someone please give me info on what I have and what it's value might be? Here is what I could find printed on the bicycle: Steyr color: green style: women's Made in Austria (on the neck) 3 Speed "Speedy Switch" (on the shifter) Olymic Rings decal on the frame seat post STYRIA 3-GANG, MADE IN AUSTRIA, 66 (on the rear hub) Thanks for any help you can provide.

| Thank you for your response...I'll check that all out in the day light and give you an update. By the way, is ebay really the way to buy or sell a sweet ole bike? In your opinion... by: 66.81.71.152 |

| Best I can figure from my research, I have a late sixties UO-8. The serial # is 884037. It has Simplex downtube shifters, derailleurs, and skewers, Mafac brakes, Normandy hubs, ADGA saddle, AVA stem, and Lyotard pedals. Markings include "Record du Monde" and "Tube special allegete Peugot." It appears to be all original. It's in good condition. Is it worth anything? Thanks. |
| I saw one in excellent condition make around $160 a week or two ago on ebay. That is top dollar. I sold a similar condition one for $100 last year. If it shows it's age, I'd say $25 to $75. They made a gazillion of them. Yes, you heard me, a gazillion. by: 24.224.141.224 |
| Warren's post is spot-on. These are delightful commuting or recreational machines, but only a NOS one would be considered collectible. by: 66.185.168.82 |
