Have the fork too?
Pretty cool. It's definitely worth something. Taller size limits value a little, and that paint job may turn off some buyers though.

Nice looking frame but I agree with Jet. It is only CroMor and the size is on the big side so that hurts value too.

I don't agree that the size limits the value. Tall riders have very few choices for bikes.

I have sold many bikes, and larger bikes have less value here. While tall riders have few choices, there are just too few tall riders out there. And there are a lot of women riders here that want diamond frame racing bikes, so the demand for anything under 21 inch frame is high. I have a couple of tall frame bikes right now, a 25 inch, a 25 1/2 inch and a 26 inch. Its going to take a while to move them.
