It's got a rust spot about he size of a pinky nail beneath the paint on the
TT and, the paint is flaking off under the BB. Otherwise, no dents or any
other rust. Previous owner added the Record group circa 06-07 but, left the
original Chorus FD DT shifter on it to emulate some italian racer whom I can't recall.

Everything except the headset and FD shifter were switched to Record. Wheels are
Mavic Equipe. I'm in S.F if that makes a difference to what you think it's worth.

This is a very hard bike to appraise because its not period correct. It appears to be very tastfully and correctly built. I'm going to assume there is no left Ergo lever?

I'm start off with a guesstimate of $900 +/- If your selling my advice is to install a left Ergo lever.

Lance did that left DT lever things as well.
