Ridgeback 602 16 inch

[Bluetrentham]

I’m wondering if anyone can give me some advice? I own a 1989 16 inch Ridgeback 602 with Shimano gears. The colour is white with green dots. I bought the bike new for £330 and still have the receipt and the original owners manual. The bike has had very little use and is in decent condition. I’m not really sure if I can let it go but thought I would start by finding out what it might be worth. Can anyone advise please?

This one sold for less that £99 in August:

1989 Ridgeback 602LX Mountain Bike 18" - Retro | eBay

It has a very small dent on the top tube, see last picture. This is not a problem but just wanted to point it out.

We can't see how much less but I note that it had a small dent, which would have reduced the value. Now is not a good time to sell; indeed, there's a thread in the General & Off Topic section asking if we've reached 'Peak Cheapness?' If I were you, I'd keep it for the foreseeable future.

That's useful. Thanks. Probably not the best time of year to sell anyway.
