The $500 asking price is definitely more than what I would pay for that frame. Not crazy about repaints and the green color does nothing for me. I have purchased a few frames with original paint and in very good condition including a Pinarello Record, Merckx Corsa Extra, De Rosa and a Billato Tommaso for quite a bit less than $500. All had a bit better steel than the SL of the Colnago. Mine were all in the same size range as the Colnago.
