5) In regards to 1 - 4 above is this bike really worth anywhere near that much?

Handmade lugged Reynolds 531 58 cm frame bike with classic long chainstays, braze ons for racks and fenders, optimized for loaded touring. 33" standover for rider 5'9" to 6' tall +/- depending on body proportions. Heavy duty rear rack, SKS fenders, true wheels with excellent Panaracer tourguard flat resistant tires. Triple chainringwith 7speed cassette. Chainand rear derailleur just replaced. Vg paint, with superficial scratches but no rust. Though never imported to the US to my knowledge, this model set a standard for serious British made touring bikes. Comparable to a Surly Long Haul Trucker but with livelier handling unloaded, and to a Trek 520 but with a heavier duty frame for load carrying.
Please respond with your name and phone number. Cash in person only.

Whoa: a Grandis frame, listed without that in the title on eBay.it, with a 220-Euro b-i-n! It appears to be one of their mid-range models (panto-ed seatstay caps & fork crowns, etc.), in 58x58cm.

From the same seller as the Grandis: this Faini roller in its (charming) original finish, for a 110-Euro b-i-n. Super-rare Milanese marque, and this example has some nice detailing, and some older components. (I wonder if those forks are tweaked a bit...) The seller claims it's 24", but there's no way in hell; more like 21". Much too small for me, alas... Still, it is very worthy of being rescued and having its originality preserved.

This very tall frame is for someone over six feet tall. The seat tube measures 25", the wheels are 27" and standover height is 35". Bike is in great shape, suffering more from storage than heavy use and is built with a lot of high quality components. SunTour Cyclone derailers, Dia Compe brakes and fancy French and Italian wheels with Campagnolo hubs.

The bike is an ‘83 and most of the components are in great shape.

Thanks. I have a very bad habit of picking up bikes because I like a component. I’ve wanted a set of “no record” hubs and open C skewers for a while.
