Zunow 1991 Custom frame for Minerva Racing
I was hoping to get some input on the value of this frame. I bought it from the original owner, it has columbus tubing, wishbone seatstay, widened seat tube at BB. The BB shell lug has a decorative cut out on the bottom. It has nice lugs all a round. The paint job is original, Minerva Racing. It had a Dura Ace 7700 8 Spd groupo. Down tube shifter, Dura Ace hubs laced to Mavic open pros. Fun to ride, to large of a frame, 58 cm c-t-c.
Thanks for your thoughts

My that certainly is unique and very cool!
I haven't any idea what it is worth. Just bumping the post.

Not sure what makes this a custom frame. Maybe a custom paint job? AFAIK this is a Z1 monostay. That said, Zunow has a buzz all its own. A 54cm frame with a faded paint job sold on the Bay a while back for over $500. Saw near NOS 56cm go for $600+ over a year ago. Also saw a complete bike go for $750. Personally I would not pay as much due to the paint job. Part of the cachet for me is the colorful factory paint. This is colorful, but......

We need a few more photos, the paint looks pretty rough around the brake bridge, is that the case on the rest of the bike? I am interested in the frame, it is my size and I would love a Zunow...this was picked up in Seattle, correct?
edit: I just remembered that there was a fellow selling a NOS Zunow Pentaglia (sp?) near Baltimore and wanted $600 but I think it sold for less than that.
