What's the most that I can expect for my Pogliaghi road frame? It's 48cm x 50cm; numbered #13460 (but not autographed); the chrome is in fairly awful condition; comes with a tange levin headset and a campy bottom bracket; and and there are no dents. I'm in a catch 22 situation, too poor not to sell it this season and too poor to let it go cheap.

Not much in that condition. People will see the rust and walk away from it. If you have the time, you should consider rust remediation (do a search for oxalic), otherwise, a buyer will expect to get a sweet deal on it as they will factor in the cost and time to deal with the rust, and the lack of interest by other buyers.

Thank you! I'm going to buy some oxalic acid and see how much I can clean it.

Let me start of by saying that I dont anything about Pogliaghi's. I had a D'arienzo frameset with full SLX tubing throughout in rough condition. I figured any SLX frameset, as long it was mechanicly sound, has a minimum price of $125. I dont know what thats made of but anything modern with full Reynolds 531 or Columbus SL/SP/SLX has a minimum inherent value.

It took me awhile but I was able to sell it on the local CL that. (I threw in 3 sets of bars from my stash)
