Exactly. Lifelong bike mechanics at a high end shop-- which I live right next door to-- have never seen this pattern. Given the pain it must have taken to drill that BB pattern and the beautiful lug...

Just scored this lovely bike on Seattle's List of Craig: full vintage campy SR, mavic rims-- just lovely. But I can't ID the frame. Beautiful lugs with never-seen-before cutsouts, especially a...

You can get $100 for that seatpost easily-- I've seen comparable ones priced above that on Ebay. I'd price it at $75 for a quick sale. Drool-worthy Merlin BTW-- great score. Sweet rims!

I agree with the others that $500 would be fair-- $650 is tops-- pay that if you just love the brand and color. nice SLX frame. I'd put Campy 9 speed on this and thrash it.

IMHO I'd offer $300 tops. For reference, for $450 I just picked up a beautiful lugged steel frame with vintage Super Record components & a great wheelset. So, amazingly, expect a lot for $500 (if...

I stand corrected-- TSX is the one standout piece. Agreed that MAX would be super cool. I'm partial to SLX personally-- haven't found a MAX frame.

That's not a high-end campy group-- looks pretty low end given the finish. The best breed of this bike is a Sequoia, which can fetch $750 in good shape. But you are looking at a ~$100 bike here....

Sweet frame-- you are doing great if you are five hundy into this bike and this is what you've got. Go thrash it-- looks like that's what it wants.

rode a 970 frame for years-- if they are free of dings and road rash, all lugged steel Trek frames are great platforms for builds. With XT components and the original Matrix rims in good shape, it's...

Great steel bike, but it's too new to be vintage; too old to be super lightweight; and there's nothing unusual about it. It's worth around $500-$750.

Compass tires are worth it big time

Of course it depends on your budget, but if you can afford them, they make a huge difference. Highly recommended.
