  1. Can you tell me roughly how much this is worth? Its columbus tubing. has some rust spots, but they are not so bad. Its really light weight

    Part wise it has:
    campagnolo brakes and gear shifters (no cables for gears though)
    shamino pd-6401 pedals
    an avocet sadal
    no front derailleur. The back one is shimano.

    Here are some pictures

  2. No idea. It's an older steel frame with a mixture of parts. The shifters look pretty old, as does the rear brake. Newer (?) front brake. Suggestions: assemble with wheels, even without tires. Take pictures and orient them right-side-up. Show closeups of the lugwork (joints where the tubes meet). Measure the distance from the center of the crank spindle to the top of the seat tube. Potential buyers will want to know the frame size, in centimeters. A closeup of the crank would also be helpful. Does it have a headtube badge, a picture of that would be helpful also.

  3. With very little effort this would make a great single speed bike.

  4. Definitely restorable, but to what? The frame was a higher end frame when the bike was produced which I would guess was the late 1970's to early 1980's. The axel positioning screws in the rear drop outs and the FD Derailleur hanger are both marks of a higher end frame. The Campy single pivot brakes, the down tube shifters, and the location of the chainstay cable stop is what I am using to date the bike. Routing the RD cable under the BB did not become common until the early 1980's. When the cable stop is on the top of the chainstay, it indicates that the RD cable was routed over the BB in either a brazed on or clamp on cable guide. Not knowing the make of the frame and the fact that the existing components are all fairly obsolete, I would say that you are looking at $75.00 being a fair price. The addition of the wheels (assuming that they are from the same era and in similar condition) might add another $25.00. Knowing the make of the frame could increase the value of this frame quite a bit, like if it were a Colagno or a Bottechia or a Masi.

  5. I agree with your statement but not with the sentiment. Turning it into a single speed bike would ruin what may be a very nice road bike frame.
