So, what's this worth?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

So, what's this worth?

10 years ago I saw an ad for a used road bike. Went and checked it out and immediately gave the guy the $125 he was asking.

The bike appears to be early to mid-70s. Reynolds 501 frame and a fully Campy C-Record grupo. I completely tore the grupo apart and repacked it.

What is the grupo worth alone? The frame?

Thanks.

Did you try to post a picture, cause it would help to see what it looks like, man.

Wasn't 501 the cro-mo version of 531?. Or maybe a heavier version?

Anyway, depending on the condition of the bike and the bits, it could be anywhere from $50 to $500. Without a picture, anyone that gives a value is just whistling dixie.
