Hello,
I have an older Serotta and I just spent some time talking with one of the people at Serotta and he suggested I ask around here for anyone that might have additional information.
It is apparently a pre-1985 Serotta with "Cinelli Made in France" stamped on the BB. There is no serial number that I can identify, though there are seemingly random numbers on some of the lugs. It is Columbus SLX tubing.
I am seeking advice - I would like to sell this, but I have no idea what is reasonable to ask for it. Right now it is a complete bike with all Campy components (Chorus I believe) with downtube shifters (7-speed). It is in good condition, but not great - it has a few nicks and scratches on the paint job and the stickers are peeling/cracking.
If I try to sell this on eBay, what would be a reasonable price to set? What could I say about this bike to maximize it's appeal? Is it more appealing as a complete bike, or just the frame?
I appreciate any help that people can provide. It seems information about older bikes is hard to come by.
Thanks again,
David
