93/94 Giant Cadex ALR1

[Tony Raynor]

Picked this up yesterday after a tip off from @biggs682. The pictures were a little poor and it looked tired. Had a quick wipe down and the paintwork and mechs are just covered in grease and dirt. Just taken it up and down the road a few times as he back brake isn't working properly and it feels pretty good.
Needs a complete strip and replace consumables but very happy. Full 105 groupset so not to shabby.

Nice one Tony. Looks rather like a Giant I had. Is it a composite frame?

 

[Tony Raynor]

No this one is the bonded aluminium frame

We have a 1993 Cadex ALR-1 road bike in fair/good condition. My daughter purchased it last year and my husband fixed it up for her. Turns out that the frame is too big for her (and for me) and too small for my husband. We would like to sell it and are trying to get a sense of the value, as well as get her (our) money back out of it. We've checked around a bit (on Ebay) and it seems like there's a varying price point.

If you could post a few pictures and say type of groupset and wheels plus condition you may get a reasonable estimate of its value, at present bikes are going for more than ever so it should sell very quickly,good luck.

Apologies for not getting back sooner. I am going to attach a handful of pictures. It has Shimano 105 components, it has campy rims, and is a 59 cm frame. I would be interested in knowing the best place to advertise this bicycle. Again it is my 19-year-old daughters bike; she picked it up while working at a local thrift store and fell in love with it, but it is really too big for her. We would keep it, but we have other bikes and she needs the money to pay for her college expenses!
