I have a mid eightys 610 frame, with some light cosmetics, inside is rust free. 

No seat binder bolt, but I have the seat post.  Original cantis on it.  It would

need a new headset, mostly because the chrome is rusting on the current one. Its

maroon, a really small frame, strait and true.  I think it sat unused for a long

time, because the BB is in great shape, hardly ridden.

They buyer is in another state, so I would have to ship it, I would like to give

a fair price with shipping in mind.  But I have no idea what to sell a bike for,

much less a used frame.  any ideas?

Wow thats more than I figured...

So I guess that I would not be ripping the guy off if I asked less...



I know that this is a good frame, I just did not want to be one of those "this

thing is golden" kind of guys.  He needs a tourer for his wife, and I figured

that its best to get this thing on the road rather than sit on it.  I paid ten

bucks for it, so basicaly am just moving it on.  thank you for your response.

I would think $150 would be a fair price for the frame.  Add shipping and you

are around $200.  On these lists I have picked up sweet frames (Univega Super

Strada) for $75 or so but prices have gone up.

No point in asking questions just to then disregard the answer.  I just did not

want to embarass myself by asking to much.  I kind of wanted to get fifty out of

it, cause based on the ride of my 1000, they are hard to beat.(even though my

1000 is several cm to small.  Its the best bike I have ridden hands down, and a

seatpost and stem bring it up to my size.  a 147 mile day the other day, over

two mountain ranges, loaded!)  So thanks to your advice I can comfortably not

rip myself off for time spent packing it up.  And after all, bikes are my hobby,

not my road to riches.

I have passed frames on for what I paid, but not ten bucks!  I should have added

a disclaimer to my earlier post saying to please choose to ignore everything I

said.  Perhaps $75 shipped would be a good "friends" deal?  After all it takes

effort to pack and costs $ to ship plus the frame has more value than $10

(except perhaps at garage sale), that much is for sure.  Am I being a

cheapskate?
