As the title says this is a shameless fishing expedition being posted here rather than in the for sale section where I would probably get a roasting at the very least !
Let me explain,
I may possibly have a number of 1980 vintage TI Raleigh track frames for sale in sizes from 50cm to 60cm.
They came directly from Gerald O Donovan and have been used and perhaps a little neglected over the past 31 years with fading paint and the odd scrape here and there.
I would like to replace them with modern alloy track frames, probably Dolan Precursa's or Track Champions frames / bikes.
I have a limited budget to get the new bikes up and running and have been asked to look at the potential to sell these frames to finance the purchase of the new ones.
The question is how much could I reasonable ask or expect for these frames ?
I would rather not go on the "bay" as the overheads and general nonsense that some times happens with sales can be very time consuming and irritating so near Christmas.
The frames look like this :
21' Raleigh 531C Track frame and forks , Cinelli cast bottom bracket shell and Prugnat long point lugs, Double plate fork crown and Campagnolo record headset. Still has the G.O.D. decal on the seat tube !
Rides as well as any of the modern bikes on a steep board track.
Opinions and constructive criticism are most welcome as forum postings or PM's
Thanks Allister
