1985 Merckx 753

Hey Guys. I'm currently selling my Reynolds 753 Merckx and am wondering what you would consider the value to be. 2 things that are worth noting is that I built up the frame with a full, period correct Suntour Superbe Pro group. It looks great and works better than any friction group I've used, but I understand I'm definitely not going to get the same money I would if it was a campy build. The second issue is a pair of bar dents on the top tube. The larger is probably about 3/8" around, the smaller only 1/8" or so. I've had the frame checked and alignment isn't an issue, I've also been riding it for close to a year without any problems.

Overall the bike's in great shape, it also has new tires, tape, hoods, cables, and brake pads. I live in Los Angeles and was hoping to get $700 for it, but considering the dents I'm wondering if that isn't a little idealistic. Check out the attached pictures and let me know what you think, any insight would be very much appreciated.

Best,
Chris
