Not sure if you’re asking me, but on the bike in question, the decals are original. Unfortunately the one on the seat tube flaked some as I was trying my best to be gently in removing grease and surface rust. I haven’t bothered to touch any up because I would likely make them look worse.


As to pricing, do you think a fair ballpark is $750? This number is simply me doing my best eBay estimate on Campy parts of that vintage and around $300 for the frame. Almost no value added for the tubular rims.
What do you guys think. Should I start there, ask more, or ask less? I know “parted out” it would be more, but I’m not doing that.
