I am contemplating selling my Merckx for an updated model. Anyone got any suggestions on value? I think I bought it sometime late 80s or early 90s. The frame is 53 cm c-c. It is Columbus TSX tubing. The frame does have some minor paint damage from use and storage. Never been crashed. It has Shimano 600 components. Eddy pantographed stem. Shimano aero wheels. Any input would be appreciated.

The shifters and wheels aren't 600. Looks like at least part of it has been upgraded to ultegra 9 speed.

TSX was a step above SLX back around the early 90s if I recall correctly. They go nuts over these bikes on ebay. You'll get > $800 there.

I really wish I had the money. I'd buy it.
