Great bike, but as you know, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't matter. So if you are considering selling, I would clean it up a bit, put some basic pedals on it and I would remove the rust and do some basic touch-up. I've had good luck with the Testors Enamel that is found in hobby stores.
Don't go crazy on the clean up and don't hurt it by using harsh cleaners or abrasives.
As far as price, a 60 cm, while large, should attract a lot of buyers. A lot depends upon your location. As you may know, the market for vintage bikes isn't what it used to be. I'm guessing here, but maybe $200.00 is realistic. More in some hot markets perhaps. These usually go for more, I sold a frame-only for around $200.00 several years ago. It was the "Miami Vice" colors.

their 60 is more like a 58 in other brands ---
Sought after color scheme that is not often encountered ---- 600 tri color groupset --- very nice bike
Regrettably , the market is down - a few years ago with basic cleanup id guess $350 -- now the $200 guess seems about right

Ditto on the $200 estimate. Does require more rust treatment than other Ironmen I’ve seen at this price but the full tricolor group makes up for it IMO.

Yeah I got new tape on there gonna get new tires hopefully soon . And I have 110 cinelli stem on its way as for pads they are in great condition and stop really well. I gotta put a chain checker on the chain but it shifts well and is quiet.
