Vintage Rob Stowe frame set value?
I have a gorgeous Rob Stowe Terbo Airconquest, mint condition / almost looks brand new. This is a great frame but built by a little known builder and is large at 62cm. What would you guys price this frame/fork/stronglight headseet at?300? 375? I am in a fairly hot market in SoCal.

The problem of a quality frame with little recognition.
As a frame set probably under $250.
The larger size does not help as tall guys are cheap.
Neon color may be a limiter too.
I am not so sure Southern California is a hot market.
Plenty of bikes and frame sets offered for big dollars sit.
The deals go fast like a '72 Masi bike for $450. that I responded to quickly but not fast enough!
Other stuff sits. There are lots of postings on CL for bikes, and much junk being offered for princely sums.

There is a beautiful larger De Rosa sitting here on CL.
He will have to go eBay to get his $$$$.
I like this Stowe pictured above, but it will likely go at a value price tag.

Looks like a fun bike
Looks like a fun / nice bike I wonder what it went for. I just picked up a Stowe myself but the frame is too small for me. If anyone has a line on a Stowe in the 58 to 62cm range send me a message.
