What would you pay for a used Fuji Roubaix Pro frame in Reynolds 853?

Just curious as I have no idea how much such a frame is worth so wanted to see if any of the forum's experts would chip in. As the title says it's a Fuji Roubaix Pro frame in Reynolds 853, probably early to mid 2000s, no forks frame only. Used, straight, no dinks or dents, semi-vert drop-outs (am thinking about making it into a conversion, probably fixed) a few scuffs, scratches and paint chips but normal wear and tear really.

Any thoughts on how much it might go for or what it's worth? Thanks.

Is it on the 'bay?

Yes fella :)

$86

Seriously Ed, you reckon? Seems pretty low to me?

Why and how?

No he won't. Everyone knows all his knowledge is gleaned from google.

would be higher if fork was included, which is not, and that's an additional expense.

plus its a fuji

This one? Last time I bought a frame from the states I got charged £100 at customs, so bear that in mind. Looks structurally fine, you could polish out alot of the scuffage, and 853'll last and last. I'd say 150 too.

Seams reasonable, I had problems shifting my 853 mtb frame for that price

Phew, just a smidge over 150 (cough) but worth it I think. More than I was expecting to pay but think this could make a sweet franken/rat if I can only build with second hand parts and keep all other costs as low as possible :)

managed to get you up to 360 though :)

my highest was 355

Lol ^ nice try but I don't believe you fella :)

drats!!

Gotta say, it seems like a shame to turn that into a 'rat' bike when it actually looks like it could be a really nice road bike.

The paint job looks pretty cool and a bit of t-cut and wax would probably sort it out. I'm hoping this isn't the one you're planning on rattlecanning brown.

^ I'll also be sacrificing a couple of puppies ;)

I'm thinking something more subtle than just rattle canning it brown. The problem being whenever I've built up a bike to have as a beater I've always gone over the top and it's ended up being something that I get really twitchy about leaving locked up outside for any length of time, even when well locked. I also want to ride something nice and light, a sort of stealth beater if you will.

Perhaps I'm trying to have my cake and eat it but I think it's doable. The Reynolds 853 stickers will almost certainly get covered up. As for T-Cut and wax the scratches already on it do look deeper than that. I also like the red and white though. Hmmm, decisions, decisions :)
