You will possibly never find a vintage steel frame that's lighter. I think the asking price is a little bit high, but not outrageous. It's worth checking out. If you like it, it's a whole lot more bike for the money that anything you could buy new.
Can you give me a gauge on what I should try to talk the seller down to. I was thinking of offering 200-250 and working up from there hopefully getting it for about 250. I don't think it's worth that much more than that especially if the frame is chipped and not in spectacular condition.
What'd you get yours for, you can pm me if you want.
Will the frame take 130 mm spaced wheels? I can get 105 10 speed shifters, cassette, brakes, RD/FD, for a pretty good price and it'd be awesome if I could do my first build on this stuff.
