Are these bikes (Colnago and Lemond) worth it.

Hey,
Long time since I've been in the C/V scene. I would just like to know, in your opinions, what a 86 Colnago Super and Lemond are worth. I think the Greg Lemond is a Team Z bike.

Thanks, sorry for the bad pictures, I just yanked them off of Craigslist.

Both builds seem a bit "fruit salad" if you will. Asking price of $800 on the Colnago seems like a better deal, IMHO, than the Lemond.

The Lemond is made of Columbus Cromor tubing so it is nothing special, it is team paint.

I'd suggest about $300 for the Lemond, maybe $600 for the Colnago as it is a repaint.

Would agree $300 or so on the Lemans it's nothing special and appears to be will used. As for the Colonago it looks to have been repainted and rebuilt so only $500-600. For me both bikes are kinda meh a bit rough and not great lookers I would say pass on both. Even in the bay market for the $600-800 price range you should be able to do much better. Looking at SF stuff I see several bike that would be nicer basic riders for well under $500.
