Out of line pricing but a pretty cool none the less.
I would buy that before I dropped 12 large on a plastic electronic supersonic wonderbike.

Price is just OK, could get good if you negotiate well. Not the greatest bike but if you want a cheaper side S&S titanium bike it's a good target.

Lot of titanium lately, thats unusual.

Lots of people upgrading to discs now.

This, and aero bikes too.

For me they can continue doing it, prices in high end steel will continue going down, same with components. Guys cant use their groups with the new stuff.

Excel Sports--Pinarello Opera Campy 10, $1200 56cm
 

https://www.excelsports.com/main.asp...jor=1&minor=35

Excel Sports has this "like new" Pinarello Opera with Campagnolo Record 10 for $1200, 56cm only.

I totally agree! 11spd is perfectly fine for me and CF wheels + rim brakes work fine for my riding.

1976 Colnago Super: Pro Restoration 0 Miles -56cm -Panto Campy Record - $1200


$1200 without saddle (I can add a basic saddle for free or a nicer saddle for more) . This bike moves to Portland on June 20th if it hasn't sold!

Exceptionally well restored 1970's Colnago Super racing bicycle! It has zero miles since the frame restoration which was done in Italy before a US collector acquired it. ALL of the components are the original stock parts which have light miles on them (with the exception of brand new Cello tape. A highlight is the Unicanitor Mod 65 suede covered saddle with CINELLI on the rear in block letters, a VERY rare version of the Unica. It features some lovely Colnago factory pantographing, including a Mexico style chainring, milled and painted seatpost, 3ttt stem, and old logo and Italian flag diamond brake levers. The clamps for the toe straps feature the old Colnago logo.

The frame dates to 1976. The rear derailleur is stamped Patent 1976, and the rest of the Campy NR components that are undated are original (and match this period). The frame number on the driveside dropout is unreadable, but the following features solidly identify it as 1976 build date: Fork crown is non-recessed bolt, and features "COLNAGO" along with the club, a feature they added in 1976. The back of the crown is solid with no cutouts, whereas starting 1977 there were shallow triangles on the back. Diagonal Worlds band added behind black Club/COLNAGO head tube decal and vertical COLNAGO seat tube decal with single diagonal Worlds band at top were both added in 1975 and ran for a few years. (source)

Seat tube: 56.5cm (center to top of seat tube)
Top tube: 56cm
Head tube: 139mm

Unridden since restoration, lovely show bike condition. Frame is almost completely pristine, with the ONLY blemishes being two long paint chips on the seat tube, non driveside, under FD clamp (from storage), and two chips on the seat binder tabs. Paint is glossy and free of microscratches! Decals are pristine.

The components overall are mostly near mint. All Campy parts, wheels, saddle, bars/stem are near mint with minimal blemishes. Hoods are supple and clean, with only the slightest worn spots on bottom edges.

Is it just me or are the prices for higher end used steel frames going up? they don't seem to sell really at these higher prices but people here or online think they can get almost as much for an old used frame as it would cost to get a new custom steel frame from certain budget-minded builders.

I'm really curious if this stuff is even selling at these prices, or if it's to give negotiating headroom, or if they don't sell at all and get put back into a garage.

I think you are right
 

I see a lot of bike/frames that folks have posted at super optimistic prices. I don’t feel like it’s my place to point it out, those really interested in selling come to their senses. I made an offer on a frame on the ‘Bay about 10 days ago, the buyer countered back higher, “he had others interested”. The auction ended and I made another offer, lower than the first and it was accepted almost immediately.

I get folks have money tied up, but unless it’s a grail bike, a “Team Bike” with documentation or a super rare bike, most of these are unlikely to get what they are asking. Case in point, the Tomassini above is nice, but the seller could have cleaned it up.... not sure if he is hiding something

Yeah I’m tempted to have my superissimo repainted and change it back from a fixie now lol

Seen that to happen, not to me tho... many guys trying to get money back, the only ones that are pricing ok IMO are 1st or second owners that arent flippers and know how the thing works lately.

As for those super rare team bikes, well I have two :P and i can tell you that even with those is hard to justify 40% more of a regular number, you simply can't... the tab number or the weird geometry is not excuse to ask a lot more you know, you could squezze maybe 100 more but from there to double it, no way...

My best example of that was oscar freire's c50, that one sold like 2 years ago, and he got his last world champion in that one I believe. We aren't talking about for example a mxl motorola of a guy that happen was in the team...Freire's c50 custom paint and stuff sold for like 2000 bucks, doubt was going to bring more tho.

Rasmussen TT bike is at ebay, not for a lot either.

Here a few days ago a MXL went out for a super good deal, never seen one of those go for such numbers. Just insane, but if you look the bay, all of those are sitting there and probably will be there for a very long time...
