The Shimano Ultegra 10-speed cassette typically comes in various configurations, such as 11-32, which refers to the range of teeth on the smallest and largest cogs. This configuration provides a gear range suitable for a variety of terrains and riding conditions.
Bicycles rarely become valuable collectibles, so probably not a lot. Have a look for similar bikes on eBay and craigslist to find out what they are selling for.
There are 2 main reasons, first is that with every up-shift of the transmission the mechanical advantage of the gearing lowers.( example: riding up hill on a 10speed bike in 1st gear vs.10th gear, 1st is easier.) The second reason is that wind resistance increases 4times when the speed doubles. (example: sticking your hand out the window of a car going 20mph vs. when the car is doing 100mph and you'll feel the difference.)Wind resistance is main limiting factor for top speed o most sports cars.
