I picked up a Gios Torino Professional (White) with a mix of parts for $100. The white paint is chipped in a number of places. It looks exactly like this frame http://www.thebikestand.com/giosvintage.html just beat up. The bike stand is asking $2500 for above mint version!!!! What is this thing worth? Is it worth sending the frame out for repainting to resell it?

Mix of parts . . .
DuraAce Stem
Shimano 600 hubs with Mavic Reflex SUP XB?
Campy headset, BB, cranks I'm assuming they are original.
8 speed rear with Shimano 105 STI adapter.
2 ring front with downtube shifter.

Cheers!

I wouldn't plan on retiring on it. A decent repaint with decals is going to run around $300. You can sell the non-Campy parts as frankly they will do nothing to enhance the value of the bike. Nothing wrong with them, but you have apples and oranges here. A full SR Campy bike vs a mishmash of parts. With luck, you might make a couple of bills.

$2500 seems high even for the minty one, but I'm no expert
