[buddybikes]

A friend of mine has a Sachs, 51.5 cm center to center

ctr of bottom bracket to the center of the top tube: 51.5 cm
top tube: 53

Trying to determine approx value. Can some provide general insight?

Thx

My early 80's with all record excellent condition went for $2300
I got only a few serious questions and one offer over a 2 year span

Looks to me from what we can see here that the frame/paint are in pretty good shape, although has it been resprayed? I don't think I've ever seen a Sachs paint job without panels. We can't see the driveside, but it appears to be a mismash of parts that don't appear to be particularly valuable from what I can see here. I'm sure ebay can give you some points of reference for that era of frame/fork/headset sales.

Here's some points of reference of possibly similar vintage:

yes parts are a wash, campy headset that's about it.

Wherever he lists it, he'd probably be best served to strip it down to Frame/Fork/Headset and take some good quality pictures showing any blems/issues and get some good light on that seemingly sparkly green paint.

but leave the rack on to show its versatility
