1985 3Rensho
Any ideas on the value of this 3rensho?
At some point in its life it was repainted and in 2006 it was converted to fixed gear. However,
the original Dura-Ace parts have remained with the bike including the original ARAYA wheels with Dura Ace hubs. The serial #is A719 5X5 and the seller has told me that it is from 1985.
Thanks for any help!

You sure about the 5X5 in the serial? Those last three digits are supposed to indicate the frame size and should not have an alpha character in them. Maybe 585?

That rolls also appears to be a limited edition UCI World Championship edition. Almost looks like the 86 edition that I just recently added to VeloBase.com, however I suspect 86 wasn't the only year that they were made.

I'm not that expert on the nuances, but with that "unicrown" fork and other details, I wonder if it's just a bit later...I'd like to see more close-up pics of the detail areas. The color seems like something right in the San Rensho family, so kudos to whoever picked it. What's the rear spacing?

CLARIFICATION: I did not contact Andrew about this frame, but when I bought my first 3Rensho, several years ago. The info I shared is what he gave me.

With regards to the serial number, that is merely what the seller posted. He said that it was hard to make out, so he may be mistaken.
Thanks for the help!
