I know nothing about road bikes let alone vintage road bikes but I have a Zullo bike and was wondering what you fine folks over here in C&V appraisals think it may be worth. It has the rear brake line going through the top tube chrome forks and one stay is also chrome The fork has a Columbus decal? on it that says Forcella Originale above the Columbus and over all I think its pretty cool looking.

Cinelli 66-40 bars which also say Campione Del Mondo
Suntour cyclone on the crank arms/pedals
Cyclone M-ii FD
Suntour AR RD
Diacomp 400 brakes
Suntour Vx hubs with Araya 700c wheels

If you need any other info or images to help determine anything about the bike I can get it posted here.

here are a few images.

I love Zullos, and as recently as last Tuesday had three.

I have a Zullo Sprint that remains, and it is a nice riding bicycle.

I sold my Criterium for a fair amount of money, but it was loaded with Campy Super Record.

It was spotless.

Yours has a mix of parts I haven't seen on a Zullo. Most of the Zullos I have seen have had either Shimano 600 or Gran Sport, Nuovo Record, or Super Record.

I would ditch the rack, clean the daylights out of her, and put on fresh bar tape for starters.

I would say yours might go for $250 or so in the Twin Cities as she sits though.

Hey Gomango, Thanks for the reply/opinion :) Getting rid of the rack and cleaning it up was the plan! there is a bit of rust on the chrome forks and that stay but I think I can get most if not all of it out. I wish the bike was bigger so that i could clean it up and ride it myself but its way too small for me and my wife is unfortunately not interested in riding bicycles :( so selling it will most likely be in its future. $250 as is? really? very cool! I emailed Zullo and initially got a reply but after I sent the images no response yet as to the year etc of the frame.

Thanks again and anyone else that has an opinion on the bike I would love to hear it.

I'm not positive on a number, but all cleaned up you could get 300 + around here.

With some white bar tape and housing and a good cleaning, it would go for an easy $400 here in Toronto. Shorter folks have poor choices usually, this bike is very nice.
