I really doubt these "declared" numbers... At least 100 frames were commissioned by the FCI and other national teams (sprint and pursuit discipline), people keep finding them all over the world.
Plus all the display models for shops and galleries, plus the loads of Laser built for the US market (as you know most of Laser strada were sold there).
The reason I use the word "common" is because I saw more Lasers in my life than any other special bike.
I own myself a frame way more rare than the Laser, with a lot of studies behind, but for that reason I don't think it's worth five figures.
I think Laser (all versions) is an awesome piece of design, especially for that era, but unless we are talking about the few crazy prototypes I can't really understand why a nice Pesenti SLX frame should be worth more than 5k.
Peace & love ;)
erm. really?
Roughly 200 frames were made, each slightly different than the other as Antonio Colombo (designer), Andrea Pesenti (framebuilder) and Paolo Erzegovesi (engineer) continually refined the bike for each rider and application
