Bottecchia 989 - Unused frame
Hello Everyone,
I have a beautiful red unused Bottecchia 989 frame. It's been in storage for all of its life so it has only very minor damage to the paintwork.
I've tried to research the value of this bike online but I haven't had much luck. Just lots of heart-warming thread about how much people have treasured this bike during their ownership.
Unfortunately this frame is too small for me so I could never use it, but I'd really appreciate if someone could give me an idea of what this might be worth.
I must admit, throughout all of the bikes I've seen so far, this is the one I most regret not being able to ride, it's absolutely gorgeous.
Kind Regards,
Clueless

Why not trade it for a frame that you can ride? There's an active barter community on these boards.

I'm located in Japan here almost all bikes are too small for me with the exception of a few. These bikes also tend to be harder to find here but also in high demand.

Nice looking bike but that uni-crown fork is unfortunate. Probably an easy swap.
