How much is my road bike (or parts of) worth?

Hi, I recently bought some bike parts and these were amongst them, are they of any worth? Cheers

Sadly not, although the shiny Cottered race chainset is perhaps shinier that others, so someone might offer a few quid to swap theirs out, but it's below collectable quality, @Guinessisgoodforyou excepted obvs

the rusty steel pedals are Union model Nr. K10491/U41

as produced by the Union Frondenberg firm of Germany

their monetary value is nil but if they turn and the spindles are straight they have a modest utility value



the Sakae Ringyo cotterless chainset is the bottom of the range with its permanently swaged on steel chainwheel and "melt forged" (cast) alloy crank arms

best item by far is the Mikashima alloy pedal set; it is the model Sylvan and could bring a tenner at a jumble sale or gumtree listing



purchasing used parts blind is not a wise couse

Thanks for the feedback, fortunately it was a bunch of mountain bike stuff I was after and this made up about 5% of it, wasn't sure whether to keep it or throw it out. The pedals at £10 would be a small bonus, probably stick the rest on ebay with a starting bid of £5.

Every retrobike fettler worth their salt has a set of those Union pedals somewhere in their arsenal. A right of passage.

the Mikashima Sylvan pedal is a well regarded and popular component

if you place them up for sale as a separate item they will disappear quickly
