i know there's a thread for this already........
but HELP!!!!!!!
should i??!!
he wants $300 for it:
Frame: Bridgestone 200 Hi-Tensile Hi Carbon steel - made in Japan
Wheels: Mavic CXP 21 rims laced to Campagnolo hubs w/ Maxxis Xephyr 700-23c 130psi tires
Headset: Ritchy Logic
Computer: Sigma
Rear Derailleur: Campagnolo Mirage 8 speed
Front Derailleur: Campagnolo Avanti
Cranks: Campagnolo Chorus 53/39
Shifters/Brake levers: Campagnolo Avanti
Brake Calipers: Campagnolo Avanti
Cassette: Campagnolo
Seat: Pivit
i'm guessing that the hi-ten frame is gonna be the deal breaker.
why would anyone put these parts on a cheap-o frame??!!

Huh? Campy stuff on a Hi-Ten bike? Perhaps its a bottom level campy. I really know nothing about campy components.
I wouldn't spend $300 on a bike that has a Hi-Ten frame when I regularly find butted cromo for $100 and less. But then again, I may be completely simple and missing something here. I'm still a relative neophite and I admit it.
Edit to add:
Wait...are those brifters I see on it? If so, that might explain the price. Brifters are pricey.

If the ergo levers are properly functioning its a $250-ish bike.
Look at it from a parting out perspective. What can you get for that bike parted out?
Conservatively:
F&F: $50 to the fixie crowd.
Wheels: $75 w/ tires Mavic rims and Campy cassette hubs
Ergo levers: $75
FD: $10
RD: $15
Crankset: $25
Brakeset: $25
There's $275, conservatively, without accounting for other misc. stuff.

Well, maybe the seller got his $300 because the ad has been deleted. If so, you will find a better bike anyway.

Parted out, yes, see my post in Vintage Value Inquiry.
Ergos $100.
Wheels $100 w/cassette
Now, you've got $100 to go with the Chorus crankset leading the way.
You should be able to get the $100
The frame is the gravy, $30 to $50 to a hipster.
