Cyclists: Are these worth anything, or donate?

[shootsacanon]

My neighbor, before moving, passed along a couple of road bicycles. I thought I might give them some use, but due to some recent home-repair-related events, space is at a premium in our garage. Apparently the Trek setup was a pretty pricey setup in its day, but it’s seen a lot of use, & the Schwin is obviously a bit out dated (might be right in style with the hipster crowd though).

So my question is: Are these worth trying to sell, or should I just run them to goodwill?

I would take some photo's and the info on the bikes to a good bike shop and ask them, there's good money in these older road race bikes

FB marketplace for sure. They are not super high dollar bikes, but the Schwinn has some nice cranks. I used to strip down many of these bikes for parts on other bikes and to resell. Felt bad about stripping down a cool old school bike. Hold on to them, then post around early March. Once people realize how fat they got after Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years/Valentines/St. Pat's, they will be looking for anything on two wheels to ride and work off the pounds.

The Schwinn would sell for around $80-$100 as a whole, but the cranks alone on the Schwinn are worth @ $90-$100.

They maybe worth a couple hundred bucks each to the right guy

I'm sure someone would love to have them. I say they are worth some money

As mentioned above, not worth a lot, but worth enough to post on FB Marketplace (where, coincidentally, I just sold a bike yesterday). I concur with spistols, post them at $80-100, (and then be willing to negotiate). Lotta decent bike deals around, and folks ain't spending too freely.

I think it would be worth posting them for sale for a week or so and see what happens. You can always take them to GW or whatever if you wanted to afterwards. You may be surprised and they bring you a little extra cash .
