For Sale: Cinelli Laser pursuit

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! ;]]

I agree with above but.. some bike are like old cars, paintings, art etc. They dont depreciate much at all and many times they just become more valuable (altho that is hard to believe with lasers).

So if one can still eat and enjoy that laser its most likely just as good as cash when they day come and you do not desire it the same anymore. Much unlike buying a new 5k racebike which is worth half when you roll it at the shop.

Doesent make it any less of a silly price but it makes it alot easier to justify if you got the cash.

i agree,
prob just pissed cos i cant afford one ......................................................
