Hello all,
I have stumbled upon what I believe to be an excellent find... A 1996 ? Litespeed catalist w/ full Dura-Ace. The setup is in excellent condition, but i am unsure of what to offer the owner. anyone have any idea what I should be willing to pay? Or opinions on this frame?

Thanks for your help!

I've seen two online ads for used Litespeed Catalyst - 1997 with Campy components ($1250) and 1999 with Ultegra ($1700).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help! It's 8 speed is't it? If so, not over $800, unless it is mint.Remember, it's a 96, and 03s are out, and everything on it could look good,but be virtually wore out. The owner is selling it.He should put a price on it and go from there.Many sellers are dreamers too.I know of a gently used 97/98 Catlyst with 9 speed ultegra that finally sold for about $800.
