Classic and Vintage Bicycles: What's it Worth? Appraisals and Inquiries - Masi 25 out of 100 made and signed

empty

It's very, very hard to place value on these - since they're relatively recent, and there are only a small number of them (which in and of itself doesn't indicate big bucks). The whole "Russian-style" thing is about the decals and serial, and nothing else. With Mavic (vs. Campagnolo) components, I'd put in the $800-range in the current market? As I said - hard to place value on these, IMO.

Thank you I noticed after some research some sold for 1300.00 and 1200.00 up to 1500.00. but thank you very much. take care!!

i agree with picchio. 800.00 tops. volumetricas just arent worth much. the mavic parts are actually worth more than the frame! i had a guy, just the other day, offer me one of those 1 out of 100 made so they may be rare, but remember, scarcity and desirability are two different things.

By the way - it's not "signed." That's a decal - common mistake.

Joe no offense but any comments from you I can't take seriously. I had a sweet Rossin that was selling and joe said it is worth 275.00 or 300 tops come to find out Joe is a reseller that tries to lowball good folks and resale items. It is ok to resale not to deceive. by the way rossin was worth well over 800.00. take care all and thanks for info

These commemorative 3V's are small in number but not without sisters, there are these, the "Barcelona's", the team replicas of two types and the 60th anniversary runs.

I like the Barcelona's and the Soviet replicas but they are thinly traded. There has been a guy on ebay attempting to sell one for $5K, good luck on that. A while back a NOS Soviet frame went for close to $1000 but it was in a very popular size of 56 cm.

These bikes all were from a time when marketing was really needed to move metal, road bikes were just not popular.

I cannot tell if the CCCP bikes had internal cable routing, the Barcelona's did and many of them had a more attractive fork crown than the blocky Henry James version used on this bike.

dont appreciate the comment at all. that rossin had a mix of junk parts. put up the pic you had on another thread and see. if you did sell it for that which i doubt. you were incredibly lucky. sorry for the switch on this to other bf members but this guy is not going to slander me and get away with it.

I'd be careful. The "Cyrillic" MASI name on the down tube is wrong: it should be "MAЗИ" not "MAЗN!"

Try to get some independent confirmation of its provenance.

the translation might be wrong, but in a quick review:

I found three that all ended in N, and they all had silver paint pen xx of 100, so maybe a whole set of knock offs....

Joe no offense

Amusing, considering the content immidiately following (and your post count too).
