Late 80's Bottecchia

I know this is not one of the top models but am interested in how much it might be worth.

Late 80's Bottecchia with the following features:
  • Columbus Tretubi Aelle Frame
  • Campagnolo 980 Derailliuers & Shifters
  • Shimano Side Pull Brakes
  • 700C Wheelset with Miche hubs and Mavic 2 Rims
  • Rino seatpost
  • Selle Royal Dolphin Seat
  • 3TTT Stem

In really good shape and comes with the original Bottecchia pump. Any ideas?

Finally some photos. I am in the middle of cleaning it up, greasing, shining, etc so it is not looking 100% but it gives some ideas.

Unfortunately I don't have a sufficient sampling of sales of this model to have a good idea of it's value. I've seen one similar complete bike go for $265 and a couple of bare frames go for around $140. I really wouldn't but too much stock in the results of such a small sampling however. It's a nice bike.

Thanks! I picked it up for $125 so I guess I did OK. Some new cables and tires/tubes and it should be in killer shape. I have a feeling I am going to really like it regardless of it not being hte top of the line model. Even the cheapest Bottecchias sold for way more than the typical entry level models it looks like.

Yeah, $125 is a smoking deal. Can't go wrong for that price.
