Hi All,
I have two old bikes that I would like to know the value of as I am looking to sell them soon and want to be realistic with the price and any help would be appreciated.
Bike 1 is an Oxford International with petrol engine (was working a couple of years ago) it is a five speed bike and I would assume that it would need some work done to it i.e. tubes and cleanup. The engine is a Tanaka engine which has a new drive wheel that works on the front tyre.

Bike 2 is a Rotary Sport with petrol engine (this was also working a few years ago) it is missing the seat. Below is a link to the images.

Probably worth gumtree swaps for a VN Commodore on bricks and an aquarium full of lizards.

Afraid I wouldn't set high expectations. Depending which state you are in, there may be issues with the legality of actually using these on the roads (i.e. NSW). Essentially this is something for enthusiasts and if you are lucky you may find one willing to hand over a few dollars - however they don't appear to be collectable.
Cycling is in my BNA

I agree with the above. I personally have zero interest in petrol powered bicycles, and I suspect that this is probably the situation for the majority of us.
With the dubious legal status of using them on road, and the rapid improvements in electric powered bicycles, I think you are looking at a very limited market.
