Alpine Stars CroMega LX (med). Having had this from new (1992 I think) and embarrassingly never used it for mountain biking. Its probably done 50 miles in its life. Everything bar the grips were on the bike the day I bought it, and the grips were put on a week or so later (retro Tioga dayglo) Last time I used it, all gears selected as they should, and brakes worked as well as they should. The steering feels a bit notchy, so a clean regrease and new balls should be all it takes to sort out. It does have storage induced chips and other small marks, but no damage. It seems a shame to keep it unused, and to be honest, I could do with the space.

Soooooooo whats it worth ? 😕

A small market, retrobike will be the best place to look, there MAY be consistent pricing info…

cynical-al….just had a look on retrobike, but it isn’t as straight forward as asking on here. Where have all the experts gone 😐 , when you don’t want advice on here, you get pages of it 😆

£100 tops. Whats not straightforward about Retrobike?

Im a bit of a retrobike geek.

Looks like a 21″?

Last few local to me went about £90-120. As its mint, I’d say £150-180.

There’s a not so tidy one on ebay unsold at £130. That’s always the best place to guage price, click completed auctions to get final sell price.

Cheers coomber….Frame is 19″, its not mint, due to having the odd chip and scratch from storage, and a bit of surface rust in places.

I really wanted an Chromega when I first got into MTBs, ~25 years ago, mostly because they looked a bit different with the E-stays I suppose…

I’ll give you £60 if your after a quick sale… 😉

I love it! I’d take it if I had room, but I don’t.

Really nice OP! If only I had more room…

I love it! 🙂 And looks like Biopace.

I really NEED an e-stay bike to add to my growing retrobike collection. An Alpinestars Mega or a Haro Impulse maybe.

But I’m in the US, so yours isn’t really an option… 😥

I rember an article in a mag in the early 90’s, where the chap did a 100 mile ride around the North East.
Didn’t Haro do something similar…
