You have style. This is even better!
This would be about 3,500 US delivered to the UK with shipping and duties, I gather. This is nuts for a restored 3Rensho, despite their obvious desirability. It would be nuts even for one that is nearly NOS with original finish. It will never sell for this price on ebay or elsewhere but, of course, no harm in the seller trying. 3,500 can buy you something VERY special -- either brand new as a custom build, or in terms of a very minty vintage, unrestored frame......A Rene Herse or Singer frame, a brand-new Peter Weigle, a fantastic fully equipped Italian 70s road bike......And (just my taste), I would have to strip that finish and have it repainted!!!!!!! Good luck to the seller; at least he has inspired some fun on the forum.....

You could buy one of these almost any week on the US Ebay site for half this price, or less, though this is a nice example. 700 pounds would get you a top of the line Serotta titanium frame in minty condition. It's way overpriced at asking...There is a complete one (full Dura Ace 7700 with Mavic Cosmos rims) in mint condition for less than asking on the site just now. There are full bikes -- Otttrott and Fierte and Hors Categorie -- in Ti/carbon for less, also.
Maybe I am getting jaded, but I am finding that asking prices on this forum have spiralled out of control and are so often in the realm of "aspirational" or plain insane, and certainly, often, not good value.
84-05 I'm not criticizing you for listing this at your price. It's your prerogative and you aren't forcing anyone to buy it at this price. Just alerting other forum owners to what I think is real value of this item and some data to back it up. Best of luck with the sale of what is a beautiful vintage frame. Hope you get a good price and someone gets good value on their end, which is what the forum is all about, no?
