Coworker brought this by and wanted to build it for his son. No wheels makes it tough and the build price seems to be around $170 (new wheels, saddle, cables, pads, chain, more) by my estimation and it'll still be covered in rust.
I was wondering if it'd be better to sell off the components to make some money for him to get/build a SS road bike he can ride to school.
What type of value do you guys think this has in it? Get wheels and make it a whole bike or part it out and use the money for something else? If I had $60 I'd have offered it.
Faggin steel frame. Rust spots, flaking paint, slightly flattened dent on the top tube of the seat lug. Forks and seatstays chrome is surface rusted badly.
No wheels, which really sucks.
Full campy components down to the headset. Nothing too seized, but the finish on them would need a good polish as they've seen better days. Not sure of the component level.
Seatpost is aero campy but looks like someone took a pipewrench and a hammer to it to free it. Sad.
Whaddya think? What's the best way to get him some money out of it? sorry for the poor pics.
It is my perfect size so I'm tempted too.
