900 sounds like a conversation starter for buying the bike, I would love that in my collection...

Somewhat slow older guy
Just found this thread - these are great finds! I'll post up a couple from the central Ohio area - if anyone needs me to put eyeballs on anything within a reasonable distance, just let me know.

Perhaps the seller couldn't get the engine to crank over.

Remember, go to a bike shop and see what that amount gets you........
Not much.
His bikes have character and are likely excellent performers for the bucks.

That's not leather wrap. All those motos came with simulated stitched on leather wrap made of rubber, that had built in brake hoods. Someone probably cut off the hoods, and added the gum hoods.,,,,BD

He routinely charges 2.5-4x a bike's typical value, because it's fully serviced and in pristine condition. Depends on you whether or not you think its worth it.
So you are saying the true value of this Cinelli is between $240 and $390? That was my question.
Just as a data point, if you could find one of those Cinelli frames to buy, the asking price range would be about double the numbers mentioned above.
I lose money on almost every bike I build, but that's why it's a hobby and not a business.

You got it--a turnkey solution for someone looking for a nice vintag bike to RIDE. I'm watching all Doc Cannondale's projects and will gladly pay "extra" to get one of them. Check out the thread on '80's Schwinn's to see some of his work. He's also got a web page with dozens of finished bikes. Maybe he'll post it?

I live in a hot bike market. The Schwinn Tempo he has up usually sells for $250-350. Actually all the Tenax Schwinns he sells tend to go for 3-4x what you'd find them for (on ebay or craigslist).
The Cinelli he's selling has mid tier cromor tubing and 6400 bits. Nice bike but a similar frame and build would be maybe ~$400. Add a bit more for the cinelli cache. Any higher a price youre well into the 531/SL category.
He bought the Cinelli for significatly under what he's selling it for. Not sure who in their right mind would pay $800 for just the frame like he claims:
1989 57cm Cinelli "Mens Sana En Corpore Sano" Frameset - NOS - $OLD - The Paceline Forum
I'm wont disagree. Just stating the fact that you are paying a premium because the bikes are often repainted/refinished and meticulously gone over. and like rcardr stated, he doesnt have to defend himself to me or anyone else.
