Curious about this lot. For my reference, what would be:
- a good price to pay?
- the most one should pay?

How much you should pay is a function of your funds, your needs/desperation, and your patience. Look up sold listings on eBay to see what the rest of us Campy suckers are paying.

That is one of the greatest periods that bikes have had - innovative steel tubing, less crit focus than the 80s, good aesthetics, great functional parts that still looked good. Is there a better combo of aesthetics and function than campy 9sp silver record? All at often very favorable pricing compared to other periods.
There are definitely some very classic bikes from this period - merckx MXL, de rosa Primato, Merlins if you like ti. Bridgestone hit its peak.

I think they vary from what I've seen and heard. Others disagree, but I don't think they're on par with Merlins. I haven't been impressed with the ones they subcontract for other builders (Merckx, Look, Basso, etc.). I have a Litespeed MTB frame from the early 90s and I like it a lot, but I use it as a commuter. My demands on it are not great. My mid-late 9-s Litsespeed Look was nothing worth getting excited about and the lone Litespeed roadie I owned was flexier than my Merlin and more twitchy.
To me - I'd rather have a Serotta or Merlin.

The chain rings and cranks look Super Record to me, otherwise mostly NR group. I don't think the BB is Record, (Gran Sport, Victory?). Others with more expertise can comment on brakes, etc. If you need an entire group, are patient and wait for good ( or less bad) prices to buy piece by piece on eBay you would end up paying about $500 for this group, maybe more with shipping thrown in.

Moots should be added.
I could easily see ordering one for my 60th birthday/retirement gift.
In the meantime, I think my ti Warbird will suffice.
I have no idea who built my ti Warbird, but it surely rides like a champ.
Can't wait to put it through its paces this spring.

I think you mostly need to do a lot of reading. It's pretty amazing how subtle some of the changes are. This forum, the Classic Rendezvous list, and sites like Classic Lightweights, Velobase, and Disraeli Gears all have valuable information. I don't think there is a one stop shop anywhere.

You guys remember Sir Mike? I don't think he's been around here much lately but he's selling a very pretty Manton and Smith "lightweight" from the 40s or 50s. Not really a correct resto and not realy all that light but a fun singlespeed anyway. Frank the Welder gave me a very similar one several years ago. He's only asking $135..

Maybe I can find it soon. Feel free to ask any questions not addressed in the description. Junky SR post and gel saddle. Buyer pays actual shipping cost. Approximately $75.00. I will send you final cost after close of auction. NO international shipping! Don't ask. Check my feedback and bid with confidence.

Thanks The first time I looked I didn't realize you had to click to open the description.

I have one, and I like it a lot. I got a deal on it, so it was a no brainer. They are stiff and light relative to steel. Would I upgrade to something else? Yes, but only titanium, and I have to *know* that it's better. A Merckx AX came up shortly after I got my Litespeed, arguably in a better size for me, but I didn't pull the trigger.

Doesn't seem particularly unreasonable in terms of cost, but TT experts can chime in.

I'm considering that deal as merely a bike, and not as a true team bike. Road Merckx 7-11 framesets alone can approach 1000 on Ebay, and this is for a funny bike. I can't imagine too many bikes having a greater potential draw than this - perhaps THE classic paint job, as well as the funny bike cachet. Pretty crazy collectible if you ask me. I'd be interested but I'm in Canada. Can't imagine too many bike collectors not wanting this bike in their stable.
