Many apologies in advance for having no photos; there's just no way for me to get any at the moment.

It's a beautiful 59cm red Primato, paint and decals probably 8.5/10. Lightly used, by all appearances.

Two unfortunate issues with this frame:
1. The owner replaced the original with a Time carbon fork. He says it was too flexy for him when descending. Did not keep original. I checked carefully and there are no signs of a front-ender.
2. A dent in the top of the top tube, a few inches from the seat cluster. Roughly the size and depth of half of a dime.

So without these two issues the frameset is worth quite a bit, I believe. With the issues, what do you think?

Wouldn't be of interest to a collector, but maybe for someone who wants a rider at a discount, and can bide his/her time sourcing a proper fork...

No fork and dent would make me want to pay $200-300 less than a nice example. If I were in your position, I would hold out was one with a fork and no dents.

Yeah - cf forK and a dent? I wouldn't offer much. That fork being flexy is non-sense.

True. That noted, there was a time where carbon forks were THE upgrade. Weight was a driver. I had one of these bikes, purchased from the original owner, Look carbon fork, fortunately he saved the original paint matching steel fork.
I rode it with both, the carbon fork had less rake so the bike behaved a bit differently.
That to me is the issue.
A dent in even a benign location is a hit to value too.
$300 max. Almost treble that with the original fork and no dents.

Thanks all -- that's about what I was thinking.
