Because of some ongoing health issues I find that for as much as I would like, I cannot give some of my bikes the love they so richly deserve so need some pricing advice from the illuminati.
First up... because I can't race and it's like owning a Ferrari you can't drive.

The Cooper could use a few cosmetic touch ups but is straight, true, has been professionally overhauled, and is now sporting a Cyclone Mk1 instead of the Mk2 shown because the Mk1 is far sexier.
I will be keeping my Superbe pedals.... my apologies to anyone who might want these.
It is fitted with Campagnolo Victory levers and brakes, Victory front d (I also have the rear d, Campagnolo headset (in perfect shape), and Campagnolo cable guides save for 1 Diacompe I used to replace a damaged tt clip.
The Sugino Mighty crank (171mm) is is fine shape and the drillium rings are in great condition... and it is a far better crank than the Victory... this is also why I used a Cyclone as it is almost half the weight of the Victory rear d.
The Sugino bb is also in beautiful shape.
The wheels are Maillard laced to Rigida blue labels with Avocet TT30 tires (folding 27 by 7/8) that have seen almost no miles and have one little cut.
The stem and bars are Cinelli... they are in beautiful shape too.
So... I would like to sell it complete but will also consider parting it out as Ron Cooper frames and forks came as just that and someone might have a bin full of Campy Record parts that need a home.
There really is nothing as beautiful as a Ron Cooper frame... it is built to perfection.
As shown the bike weighs 21 pounds even... and goes like a rocket.
It just needs a better engine.
