Talking with a local fellow about a frame/fork and told me he had something else if I was interested. I said sure what do you have? He said he has a Motorola team issued Ti Eddy Merckx built for Andy Hampsten but never used. Purchased from the team a few years ago. He has the build tag and other paper work also to go along with the frame. Now this is usually more then I deal with given the price. This would be a flipper as it would be a nice conversation piece but conversation pieces don't pay the bills.
The magic price is $2000 including the other frame/fork that was $250. He said he had it appraised and got a crazy quote of around $6k but even he was leary on that price. He was told from quite a few other local rider of around the 2200-2600 price range. Is this something I could make a profit? I was going to list it just as the frame/fork as the rest of the parts were just things he added after he purchased it so have no ties to Andy Hampsten. Would selling it as a complete bike be more of a selling point with the Campy Chorus 9spd gruppo? Help!
