Got the bike finished!

Well the bike is done and came out like I wanted. Thanks for all the input on the build! Rides nice and smooth! I'm going to sell it however to help fund a new carbon race/road bike. Not sure yet what I want, but something around 14lbs. Please let me know what I should price the bike at. I'm getting ready to list it on Craigslist/FB Marketplace here in Greensboro, NC. BTW, it's 55cm from the center of the crank to top of the seatpost.

My '89 is mostly 7402 dura ace but I use a sugino compact crank to help with the hills.

I was watching a race the other day may have been an old Giro that Lemond won. I swear he was running Delta brakes.

Great work, sweat equity pays off, no idea on value in these times or at all really, others will weigh in.

Unfortunately the scars on this one are deep and prominent so it may be a slog to pencil out.

These endeavors are best kept at hand to enjoy their value since your own labor is free.

Your bike is likely a 54cm. You need to show the serial number on the bottom bracket, both sides.

I sold a frame and fork before the Covid hit for $900/shipped. No fees to me. I was in considerably better condition, but not perfect,

The good, it's a desirable bike. The bad, it's pretty rusty.

Here's a photo of Steve Bauer in the yellow jersey at the '90 Tour. 8 speed Dura Ace 7400/7402 STI with Cinelli bars/stem.
