For Sale: Cinelli Laser pursuit

Bet the guy paid peanuts...if anything.......don't blame him for cashing in tho.....it will end up on evil bay.
I love these frames, but would never/ (couldn't afford) the silly prices they fetch.
Daft thing is a good builder could make a replica for a fraction of the money these fetch

Also a replica wouldn't be all banged up and unrideable.
This one is a part of sport & design history and a collectors item.
As for the price of this - it's worth 2 grand after it's restored. Maybe even more... Right now it's probably half of that cause who know how many cracks, dings and rust it has. Everyone I know who bought some kind of cycling exotica from Russia over payed badly every time.
Also what you thinks of a store room in Russia most of the time actually is a big pile of metal on the floor in a cold dark basement. The frames rust from the inside and the front forks are always bent less or more. In there no one gives a damn for it's history or design value. So this one was kind of saved from a very slow death road to the scrap yard.
Obviously it's hasn't been used since it's day as the seat clamp isn't fucked up.
So I would bet a fiver that this has a lot of rust on the inside and the front forks have gone out about 8 mm to one side! ;]]
