I have attached a link to a photograph of an old Gary Fisher bike. I believe the frame is titanium. Although it was designed to be a mountain bike, it has a Campy drivetrain. It was picked up at a bike show years ago.
Question: Is this bike considered to be a "collectible?" What might it be worth? -- Thanks!

I wouldn't consider it a collectable but it is a nice hardtail rider.

I'm sure that you could get a pretty penny for the parts on Ebay. For example, some crappy Record OR levers are going for over $100 on eBay right now - and these were not great parts to begin with. But collectors covet the stuff. Looking to make a buck? Part it out and sell. Looking to have a cool, rare, fun bike? Keep it.

For a short period of time Campy made MTB parts. So the Campy drivetrain should not change that it is a MTB. ------------- Alex

I asked about this bike on singletrackworld for you as there are a few guys on there who love the retro stuff and are quite knowledgeable. General consensus was its a lovely bike, and would be collectable to the right person. The forks are the original RS1 rockshox forks which in themeselves are a rare item.

I guess you never have actually used Campagnolo OR stuff. Best(and compact with a 20t small ring that was actually a spin on cog, ala shimano of many years later) cranks made at the time, tremendous brake levers and calipers, top mount shifters smooth and accurate.
Rapid fire/+, the marketing gorilla of shimano and the price/weight of Campagnolo doomed Campagnolo's MTB stuff but it was nice stuff that worked.
