Raleigh Professional Frame Set

I harvested the parts off this 57cm ctc square Raleigh Professional. I would like your opinions on what's a fair price for this frame with the fork and Stronglight Delta headset, no crank or BB, who would want the Superbe crank set anyway..... The frame has a couple of dents shown in the photos. Markings/decals are mostly gone. Some surface rust on the top tube under the cable and clips. I plan to bring this to Eroica in September to see if someone may want to build this one back up.

Thanks for your input.

I bought a 1978 Mark V last year. No dents but plenty of paint chips , frame , fork , headset (Campy NR) and bottom bracket (also Campy NR) . I paid $150 for it.

Thanks @Kabuki12 for the comp - I was thinking in that range, Does the mark iv generation compensate for the dents? Is Mark iv any more desirable the v?

Thanks

I was told by a couple of folks on CR list that the Mark V is the best of the Pro’s . I don’t really know which is more desirable , this is the only one I have owned and it is a great bike. I believe I got a great deal , considering that it included the headset and BB. Dents seem to have a negative affect on value , but all the Pro’s have a decent following and , at $150 , sell .

Another vote for $150 due to dents and overall condition. Might be able to squeeze $200, but dents scare away a lot of buyers.
