I just bought this bike. It was a pretty good deal, but now I need to figure out what I have. It is a 3Rensho Cyclone though I don't know what year, and it has the Campagnolo 50th anniversary parts group on it. The bike was barely ridden by its original owner, an older coworker of mine. He gave me the parts case and the paperwork for the parts group and it is number 5172 of 15000.
Fist, what year is this bike? (I can't just assume 1983 because of the parts.)
What is the steel used in this model year?
Was there anything interesting or special about this frame?
What is this bike worth? (everything is pristine except for rust on the toeclips)
What is the parts group worth? (I want to sell the parts to raise the money for parts I wouldn't mind riding.)
