It would seem that the cycle company existed before the American plastic kit manufacturer started, even though they share the same spelling .

Reading threads elsewhere the lugs fit the swallowtail description of the frames Dave Yates made for freewheel/Revell bikes.

I recently bought a storage unit and it had this bike inside. Needs crankset, but everything else is there. Anyone have an idea to the value?

 

[Cycleops]

Value wouldn’t be huge but any bike as long as it’s in good working order will fetch a good price these days. Let’s see a pic of it.

If it needs major parts replacement then it's value is strictly that of a fixer-upper; i.e. significantly less than a well sorted bike that's ready to ride. Prices might be a bit inflated ATM, but I reckon 90% of the born-again Coronacyclists' bikes will be stuffed into sheds & garages by the end of this month and secondhand values will drop like a stone as demand wanes and new bike 2021 model supply comes onstream.

I wonder what the Pound Sterling/USD exchange rate would have been back then?
Even if it was 2 dollars to the pound, that would make it a £500 bike, which in 1984 was a fair chunk of money. About £1500 today, adjusted for UK inflation.
