1971 Raleigh Royale - Future Investment.

[BretonM]

I recently bought a 1971 Raleigh Royale:
• I simply cleaned, T-Cutted and Lacquered the frame.
• It is in good condition for a bike of 40+ years old but has a few scratches and some small areas of surface rust.
I am trying to sell it as I want to buy and old 80's Peugeot which is in almost mint condition.
At what price should I sell the Royale and at what price should I buy the Peugeot
Kind Regards,
Breton.

Put it on fleaBay for a reasonable start price, it'll find its own level. The Peugeot will attract a lot of attention. How much do you want it?

I have spoken to the seller and i have explained that I do not have the funds to get the bike until my Royale sells.
It is a James Macdugole Peugeot and I would really like it.
Do you know anything about James macdugole and bikes
Thanks
Breton.

The seller is keen to sell the bike to me also.

Trusted seller.

My comments are there I just forgot to reply thanks Breton.

How much did you pay for the Raleigh, that's probably a decent starting point for what you will sell if for, assuming you bought it under normal market conditions. Ebay sold items give a good guide for values.

Thanks, just hoping for a buyer as I really want that Peugeot.
Got any information about the difference between mangalloy and Carbolite frame.

Have to ask, who was, or is, James Macdugole?
