Value of Mercier Orion frameset?
Hey,
I'm thinking of picking up a Mercier Orion frameset from a guy in my neighborhood. He's selling it for around $250. Does that seem like a good deal? Does anyone have experience with this frame? It's listed as Reynolds 520 with a chromoly fork.
Opinions?
Thanks!

Is that a vintage Mercier frame or a bikesdirect frame? If it's a newer bikesdirect frame than he's trying to rip you off. Reynolds 520 is nothing special. If you shop around on ebay you could probably find a used 520 frameset for $100

Looks like it's from BD. As I'm planning to convert to SS seems like it might be good to get a new Kilo or similar.

Yeah buy a new Kilo TT from BD for $400 or a Windsor the Hour for $300. If you really want to build you could get a Pake Rum Rummer or Fyxation Eastide frameset for $200-250 new
