I have a Look KG75 Reynolds 753R La Vie Claire team issue 56cm frameset from 1986 in very good condition. Completely original except that I had bottle braze-ons added to the seat tube. The work was done by a Reynolds 753 certified master frame builder, and necessitated only the repainting of the lower black band and yellow band on the seat tube. Unfortunately I have no pics at present as Im in Japan and the frame is in storage in Canada. I know its exceedingly rare, any idea as to what it may be worth? Here are links to a pic of Andy Hampsten on one, and another of one in a larger size. Mine is virtually identical.

Maybe $300-350. Maybe.

I very nearly bought one 2 years ago, and should have but when I came back to buy it 20 minutes later it had been sold, for $800 with a full C-Record group and Cobalto brakes. I think the sale price was rather low. Given the market I would expect $3-400 for the frameset.

Any chance that you still have this frame?
