Hi,
I bought a 1990 Trek 520 from an acquaintance this spring, and have slowly come to the realization that it is too small for me. With the help of a mechanic friend, I'm going to transfer as many parts as possible to a slightly larger frame, and I then want to sell the frame. How much do you think the frame only could go for? I should maybe also mention that I live in the inflated-(vintage-)bike-worth SF Bay Area. :-)
Thanks in advance.

true temper lugged frame? i guess depending on the condition- maybe $200? i sure wouldn't spend all that much on it-- but it'd make a good bike if it's clean. it's still a production frame with nice geometry... it's just not something super sexy.
