Another Overbury's - Restored - What is it worth?

[iroiromono]

Hi All,

I have this 1980s Overbury's Peak Finder that I finished restoring about a year ago, but sadly it is getting no use so I have decided to pass it on to an enthusiast - unfortunately I don't have much of an idea what I should make as an asking price.

I've had it repainted and new decals put. The color red is a bit lighter than the original more maroon.
Deerhead XT groupset. pedals, hubs
Replaced the saddle and mudguards too.
Rims replaced with ADHD and Sapim Race spokes.

Any idea on how I could price this? Thanks for any advice!

It's raining top tier Overbury's!

That is unbelievable and will generate a ton of interest.

Auction! Let them fight over it, may the best RBer win.

I'm interested and have dropped you a PM. Not sure on the price but there is one with original paint that hadn't moved for £650 on eBay.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your message, I'm happy to deal privately instead of the hassle of ebay.

I do note that the one there is the lower model Fell Rider and didn't offer postage which makes shifting it harder for the seller. This is the Peak Finder was equipped with the Deerhead XT groupset which is quite desirable these days.

I'd be happy if I can get £600. Does this amount see reasonable enough for you

This is a pretty unique example having original swan neck nitto stem, deerhead mechs and original headset etc. It's also a good size, not too big or small
I suggest floating it on eBay for a week or two at £800 buy it now , you should also allow folks to make offers but don't accept any low ones! Good luck, I'd buy myself if I didn't already have my own original
