1978 Miyata Super Liberty value?

[LeesKeys]

I purchased this bike new and it has seen mild to moderate use over the years. All parts are original except the saddle. Needs some cleaning up but excellent mechanical condition. New tires. I would like to sell the bike but have no idea what it might be worth. https://photos.app.goo.gl/yia12VNVA2AKpyEZ2

Nice.The frame looks big.

If I'm measuring correctly, it's a 22" frame, 27in diameter wheels (including tires)

I haven't seen that model, I usually see the numbered models. That one reminds me of a 312. Are those Suntour power shifters?

No, Suntour Power Shifters have a bulky black panel with a screw for the ratchet system, I'm a big fan Suntour Power Shifters.
