There is a 170 frame set up as a fixie on the bay right now. Buy it now for $1,700. It's a red color and too small for me. Are these frames really worth that much?

Maybe for an original in very good condition...have to watch to see if anybody bites.

Just saw it....being a track bike...good luck...but for a collector, maybe...it was owned and raced by known professional. Small market for that one.

If you can document/confirm by the serial number, yes. If that fixie frame had a dremel job, no.

Would the bike have had down shifter tube braze-ons?

Edit: never mind, I just found it. It's the Real Thing, but it was a team frame (for the 1984 US Women's Cycling Team), not a production frame. Production 170s were all road frames; no track frames were built for non-team customers. The components are not be original (we would have send them out with a Campagnolo Pista group, not road pedals or Dura-Ace crank, for example), but are of appropriate era and quality. |

Do you have a link? I'm not finding it easily and am not interested in buying it so I'm not willing to put much time into looking. But since I was one of the three people who built those frames, I might have some insight.

Too bad that it's a track bike.
