Roy Cohn worked for the Senate as Joseph McCarthy's minion. Yes, I know what a minion is. He was not a HUAC minion.

Correct. His forum was the Senate counterpart, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. However, it is debatable whether he was McCarthy's minion, or vice versa. And he did, (let's say "allegedly"?), contribute the quote mistakenly attributed to Goebbels to HUAC's report. I worked on the Hill back in the day, albeit not back in that day. This is what I was told then, by sources who were on the Hill back in that day. We had Nixon, and we compared and contrasted: such fun.

In response to someone's request, the distance between the rivets on the headbadge is 4cm.






That was me (requesting the rivet distance)! Thank you!

And thank you for the additional pictures: nice bike! Interesting!

(I'll have to peruse a bit later, and will respond more fully to your request then.)

Thanks for the input. I assume this wouldn't be a daily rider so I'm hoping that selling it as we move into autumn won't affect the ability to sell. Or should I not assume this?

Also, what would be the minimum you would sell the bike for if it were yours (compared to how much you sold yours for), if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you!

Thank you!
Start attempting to sell the bike now. Also try Facebook Marketplace.

Yes, but that's an MT-10, one of the lower end MT's, mine is an MT-3 (spec sheet for component differences in photos). But thank you for your input - all of it helps me get an idea.

Not sure what is up with that ad; seller has that bike listed in several different markets on the West Coast as well as Buffalo....

Few C/L buyers are familiar with more than a short list of brands, Maserati is not one of them. The more obscure the brand, the lower the price. I bought quite a few obscure brands for that reason. Meanwhile, well known brands like Bianchi for example, are easy to sell at above market prices.....


Hopefully buyers in your market are more knowledgable, but I would not count on it. In my area, market is already slowing down. The last burst of business is back to school (think college students). And yes, some students have an ample bike budget.

I agree with this. And the OP's bike is not what most would consider a desirable color, and is a fairly small size frame. I'd be surprised if you'd get more than $500 for the bike, OP.

How much would you list it for if you were selling it?

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't dismissed them (I'm sure they are much more "on the pulse" with what bikes are going for) -- just wanting more people to chime in so I can get a solid idea for a price range. I'm also a terrible procrastinator.

And now I'm back to wondering if I should just keep it and upgrade parts (brake shifters, etc) or if that will be a shame to do.
