If you want to make the most $$$ out of it, part it out and sell components and frame individually. It's already a bit of a frankenbike (Campy and Dura Ace together) so it's not like you're parting out a René Herse or something that really deserves to be kept together as a package.

Clean them up first, though -- it always astonishes me how people put their sludge-encrusted stuff up for sale and then act surprised when it doesn't pull in top dollar.

Those 25 year old Super Record headsets have a nasty habit of indexing. I hate riding with a less than perfect headset. The BB might be OK though.

Help him restore it.

Help him get back on the road.

Now you have another riding buddy which is more valuable than another bike.

if you do attempt to sand any of the rusted spots, make sure to wipe down the area with some wd-40 afterwards. wd-40 is actually a rust preventative. when you sand it you heat the metal through friction. heat will speed up the oxidation process, but by rubbing some wd-40 on, it will keep it from re-rusting.

that bike is beautiful

Nice road bikes make nice conversions. What's the problem?

Buy it, clean it, fix it, enjoy it. Its a sweet ride that deserves all of the mentioned love and attention.

Someone gave me a Faggin (little know Italian brand) in similar condition, also Campy-equipped. Many people here said "don't convert," but I did, and a year later I still don't regret it. I've got lots of bikes, but my Faggin single-speed still feels great. In fact, I had it out today.

Btw, Brasso and 0000 steel-wool did wonders on the Faggin's chrome forks and stays. It couldn't undo the really deep pits, but it make a hellauva improvement.

Yeah I agree with Carleton.

Riding buddy > another bike.

That's a sweet bike! Clean it and before anything else Ride It. You may fall in love. The guys in C&V will be drooling. Parted I'll bet it's worth several hundred $$. And don't forget friendship > $.

I think Lemond rode with them, and they were popularized after his TdF wins.

I recently purchased a similarly well-used bike at an estate sale for $100 (it was listed at $200). The frame on mine is in worse shape than the Somec, but the Super Record bits were in better condition - at least upon a quick visual inspection.

However, after I got it home, I found a few surprises: cracked cage plate on the RD, mismatched dates on the crank arms, indexed headset, corrosion on the seatpost where it had been mingling with a rusty seat tube, missing bolt on a brake caliper (well, should have noticed that one), rust on the quick release levers and pad holders, and road rash on a brake lever.

So, if your friend simply wants to get rid of the thing, I wouldn't pay top dollar, unless you want to spend time inspecting and cleaning it up before making an offer. While Super Record is top-o-the-line, the potential for the kind of wear I pointed out, and the visual wear apparent in the photos you posted, detract from the monetary value.

I'll admit I saw $$$ at that estate sale, because the ebay auctions on Super Record I remembered were apparently of excellent or NOS examples. Depreciation based on condition is pretty steep, however.

Worth.... In the 'real world', probably $50. On eBay, probably close to $500.

I'd say it's worth $175-250 in it's current state. Probably $100 on ebay. Nobody will pay more including the ship charge than that on Ebay.

It looks like a fun project to me, some of us like the fixin' up part almost as much as the ridin' part

And, if it doesn't work out for either of you, PM me

like most of Scott's products of the period, odd but functional (sort of).
