Offroad Sport

[jonnybg]

I have an offroad sport bike and would like to know what it might be worth.
A friend put me onto this site.
I cant find anything about the particular model.
I have had it for around ten years and bought it used.
The frame is blue with Offroad and Sport on it.
There is a label on it that says "Guarenteed built with LT. WT. competition quality 4130 Butted 3 main tubes"
Another label says made in Taiwan
The forks are white and on each is "CR-MO 4130"
It has paddle type gears "STI Shimano total integration"
The flexstem just says on it "flexstem offroad"
The handlebar grips have a "Ritchey" logo indented in them.

You might be able to tell that I'm no expert.

It's not in mint condition some surface rust in a couple of places but looks restorable and it rides fine.

I'm hoping to be told it's very rare
Any advice welcome please.
I can post photos soon when I've wiped it down

if you need a value stick it in here

my personal opinion - yes not very common, but 'not very common' doesn't equal valuable if that's what you're after.

the advice you'll get from most on here is clean it up and ride it

Hardtail is it?

Hardtail is it?

yes, there was no suspension when this was made, just an early form of it on the front (flexstem)

my brother had an offroad sport. basically 1 of the cheapest models of offroad, more commonly known for the proflex range. best thing in that models favour was that it was available in small frame sizes, which wasnt common for a cheaper bike back then.
