As much as someone is willing to pay for it. Winter season means lower sale value.

model? year? size? special features? ancillary equipment? pantographings? originality? completeness? "correctness"? history/provinance?even colour scheme.
what is your definition of "mint condition"? technically, a"mint"rating means "perfect- indistinguishable from new". does that apply to this example?
detailed pics,& descriptions, etc. would be most helpful

$75. Which, coincidentally is the amount of money I have in my pocket. How about it?

The color is team blue, Columbus SLX, Chrome fork and on chain stay, Campagnolo Corsa Record Group, Colbolto brakes (I didn't like the delta brakes and decided to swap it), Rolls Saddle, Regina America small block, Shimano SPD clipless pedal. I post some pictures. No pantographing.

Basically my De Rosa is almost identical to this photo from Bulgiers web site. The exception is mine has yellow lettering on blue. Yellow leather Rolls San Marco Saddle and yellow cork tape to match. It is a beauty to behold. I post some pictures soon as I need to replace my digital camera LOL.

Additional info - Mavic GL330 with Vittoria tubulars, Cinelli Stem and 3tt Champion del mondo handlebars.

Let's see... new member, no pictures, won't answer basic questions, doesn't know what size, what's it worth?

Put it on eBay and let the market decide.

I'm done with this thread.

Nah, It's 2nd Gen. C-record. I can't see the brakes but I think they might be cobalto, but the rubber on the pad holders is black and cobalto would be white, also the brake levers appear to be delta issue rather than the somewhat rarer cobalto which did not have build in quick releases. A pretty bike not worth quite as much as a full 1st gen group with Deltas. I'd say it's could get close to $1000 given a good ad on ebay and the right people seeing it. $800 would be a fair price off ebay in my opinion.

alphamajor, get an account at photobucket.com and upload the larger original images you can then link us to them or post the image tag which looks like this: [img]image url[/img] so we can see things better. thanks for sharing your wonderful machine.

I can't speak to the poster's ulterior motives (or even if there are any at all) but the 3T-Cinelli combo is a possibility. In fact I have such a combo up in my attic. They're not on a bike b/c the 3T stem is corroded/stained but it does exist (however, I'm too lazy to climb up in my attic and take a pic so you'll have to trust me). Apparently 3T made some stems to fit the proprietary Cinelli bar guage.

Didn't Cinelli make some 26.0 bars? I know they made 26.0 1E(?) stems. I've also heard of people stretching 26.0 stems to fit on a 26.4 bar.

:
The OP corrected his error in identifying his bars-the bike has both a cinelli stem and bar


3TTT has never to my knowledge produced a 26.4 stem. cinelli didn't produce 26.0 bars and stems until the latter half of the 90's and the two brands would not have been compatible before then.

Here is a clearer pic of the cobalto brake and another end shot.
