Sampson Classico 853

Hey,

I have a Sampson Classico 853 (Reynolds 853 frame, Raleigh fork). It isn't totally original - has a lot of upgraded Shimano/Cinelli parts.

What would the frame be worth? I figure parting it out is the best option.

No pics for now since it's not letting me upload with fewer than 10 posts.

Thanks

What year?

I clicked on this because I had a dog with that name. To try to make this less than completely useless:

Oops - year would have been useful. It is a 1993. For some reason, I don't see the Classico 853 listed on Bicycle Blue Book - I also heard it's not so reliable, because they run a trade-in scheme of sorts.

I have seen very few Sampson bikes around, maybe one other 853 on the internet. So not really sure how to price it.

I clicked on this because I have a cat.

853 wasn't introduced until 1995...

Interesting, so I guess it's a 95+. Seller told me '93, which is where I got that number from. It was one of my first bikes and an uninformed purchase.
