1992 Mercian Audax
I have a 1992 Mercian Audax frameset. 58cm. Reynolds 531c tubing. However, there are 2 shallow dings in it. One on the middle of the top tube, and one on the seat tube. It is otherwise flawless. So, knowing this....any guess at the value of this frameset? Just the frameset, not the wheels, crank, etc.

Best value out of frame = ebay. Damaged frame = risk of buyer claim (even with full disclosure). Realize buyers win pretty much all disputes on ebay. 531c frames are pretty obtainable, I personally would pass on one with multiple dents.

It's easily worth $100. No 531 frame is less than that unless it's really wrecked. It looks nice but those dents will turn off a lot of buyers. I'd still buy it, but only for the right price. To be honest I don't see it going for anywhere near $200 but I could be wrong.

Yeah, the dents are a real bummer. I think you will end up in the $150 range. If it was my size I'd be willing to pay that for it.
