I have a 1989 Bottecchia with Campagnolo components that I’ve ridden on and off all these years and I’m trying to value it. Photos attached. It’s well-maintained and structurally sound although with some scrapes and dings.

Here are the specs on the bike:
Main label: Bottecchia, Teodoro Carnielli & C., Vittorio Veneto
Bottecchia 80th Anniversary
Columbus Tubi Speciali Trafilati, Acciaia CMn Aelle Tre Tubi (translation: Columbus Special Drawn Tubes , Acciaia CMn Aelle Three Tubes)
Carnielli Hand Made
Made in Italy
Carnielli 80 Years in Sports 1909-1989
Campione del Mondo 1966-1985-1986
Campionato Italiano ***-65-66-67-85
Wheels: Campagnolo Lambda strada
Gears/derailleur/etc.: all labeled Campagnolo (except back gear set is Shimano from about 5 yrs ago)
On handlebar: Mod Europa Super Racing, Made in Italy
Tires: Vittorio Rubino 25-622 700x25c (new a couple yrs ago)

Sized for 5’8” rider; I haven’t made measurements. All parts are original except back gear set (I have the orig), tires/tubes, gear/brake cables, grip tape and brake pads. I’m pretty sure even the chain and seat are my original, as are my cage peddles.

Any opinions on value, or suggestions where I could get this appraised (online or SF Bay Area)?

San Fran is a pretty hot market, so I might be low here. To me, it's a $350-$450 bike in a local sale. It's in nice condition, but it's a second tier brand with second tier tubing and parts that I think most people will be pretty ambivalent about. On eBay maybe $500ish, deduct fees?

Thanks for the input, Aaron.

In case it's meaningful to anyone, there's one more label I missed earlier that says "Bottecchia The Professional Bike" on the frame at the back wheel.

Wonder why the crank spider is missing a Campagnolo marking. Generally agree with the estimate above. I sold a higher end Bottecchia bike (SLX tubing) for a little more than that. It had Shimano 600 components though.

That is a pretty fair evaluation...might be a bit lower...although sometimes there are buyers that "fall" for the Bottecchia name, it is VERY Italian sounding and will pay a bit more...so...sound out Aaron's estimate to 300-500 and I think you have it! How is that for a wide range???
