It's hard to assess anything without a picture. Miele is a Canadian company founded by an Italian in the early '80s. Their early bikes were road racers and sport tourers, made with varying grades of Columbus tubing, and are probably worth $100 if in good condition. Though if it has a Columbus Aelle main triangle and cheaper steel stays, I'd say its not worth $100. Later they started making a much wider variety of bikes. I think any steel frame can be good at 20 years old if it was taken care of. How you determine that fact is, of course, another matter.
