1976 Motobecane Super Mirage

bryanjp2

I have a 1976 Motobecane Super Mirage that is in great shape, that was handed down from my father-in-law to me. I have ridden it for a few years now. The frame size is too big for me at 25 inches. I am trying to sell it, but haven't gotten any bites. Right now I have it on eBay and CL for $180. Is this a fair price? Every other super mirage I have seen is in the $200+ range.

Bike status:

- Original alloy wheels, alloy pedals and Weinamnn 610 alloy brakes/levers.
- Original suntour VGT luxe alloy derailleur
- Fairly new Kenda 27 & 1.25 tires
- Shimano 600 front derailleur
- New seat from wheel/sprocket

Thanks for any input.

p.s. I am trying to insert pictures, but can't figure that out. Any help?

Do you have a link to the eBay page? Bike sounds very similar to mine but I'd need to see pics to be sure. What is the frame made of?
