Of course. I'm just curious if anyone has had any experience with these types of bikes, and how to think about their value. The use value of a bike like this is not necessarily that high given that it has probably been ridden harder than any non-pro top of the line Merckx from that era . I don't know that any great races were won on this particular bike, and the rider is definitely not a legend outside his own country (where he is extremely well known however). But I'm 99.5% certain it is a legit bike, with the current owner giving me a plausible story of how it came into his ownership.

Really depends on the pro and the bike, and how you can prove it.
If you have Merckx's world record bike then yeah. If you have Remy Gregorio's probably not so much.
I had one of Sven Nys' old team frames-monument winner and team sky DS so not totally anonymous-and sold it for 180 bob.
Yours sounds like a thoroughbred bike anyways so don't think you'll have a problem attracting interest.
