1988 Schwinn Circuit Frameset
Hi,
So yesterday I picked up an '88 Circuit for $100. Unfortunately it's a bit large for me, but I couldn't pass up that kind of deal. Anyway, I was thinking of buying a new frame (Tempo is all i've been able to find) and use the Sante components from the circuit and sell just the frame. My question is, how much should I ask for the frame? It's in very good condition, no rust, only some paint dings here and there.
Thank You,
Joe

Post a couple of pictures, and list the size as well. A Circuit is a pretty desirable frame, as are the Sante bits..

If I were you, I would part it out and ebay both the frame and the bits. You'll get enough cash for another frame and 600 tricolor components (better than the Sante)

Sante stuff has pretty good value, although your components look pretty scraped up. Tough call.
