70's Raleigh Professional
XL 25.5" frame.... looks like all O.E. Campy NR, Brooks saddle, 3TTT ? bar & stem. Weinmann clincher rims and tires are not original.
Gold with silver accents, half chrome forks and stays. Small dent in seat-stay.... guessing from a clamp-on rack. BIN is $1500 plus shipping.
Not a lot of completed sales to compare, but most are half that price or less. Willing to take a shot as its local, but not so in love with it that I'll overpay.
TIA for your input

There is a lot of variability in Pro prices. I think $1500 is dreamland. I tried to sell my similar size and shape Schwinn Paramount for $1500 or best offer a while back and got a few offers of around $900 that I turned down because I would only part with it for the dreamland price.
My guess is that the Pro is worth around $900 but the owner really doesn't want to part with it.

It's a MKIV Pro in the color seen ~1970, only a SN# will tell actual date of production.
That is a rare frame size making it both less and more valuable, only a very tall person will fit it and not many were made/survive.
For that very tall person w/ a special hankering for a Carlton built Pro it's pay the asking $$$$, negotiate strongly or keep looking and looking and looking.
For the rest of us an oddity.

I would say $800-900 with the lesser none original wheels. I don't think the seller is in a big hurry to get rid of the bike seems like a bit of I don't want to sell it price.
