For Sale: Cinelli Laser pursuit

^^ woah, turn that frown upside down skeleton man.

10k gbp, that's bollocks, it all comes down to that in every buy it's worth what the buyer pays, but 10k thats just... NO... Sönke on the swedish fixed forum bought his NOS Laser for 3k !!!NOS!!! And lets ff, they doesn't come cheap and there aren't to many laying around... I wouldn't say no to this, but the hype 'bout lasers... naw, I would rather buy like 5 really good njs bikes instead

only rich and fat collectors will pay grands for lazers to hang them on the wall

so beautiful

So, does mean this thread should be disappeared? Or is everyone too excited by the clown bike?

Nicely done

Rep

Seller got back to me, he saw the frame that was sold for 7000 u$s and he "doesn't want too much less" for his...

Shame.
Still, good luck, there must be someone who'll pay it. Almost certainly not on here though.

Yeah! And I suppose he won't be putting this on ebay cause his ebay allowance is like 10 times less than what he want's for it :]]]

Be a brave man who sends £5,000 via paypal to an @mail.ru account.

Left seatstay doesn't look quite straight in last pic...

Seller got back to me.
Going to buy this through Scorch - rather than transfer money direct.

I am excite.

Really? Hah, amazing. Get in J!

Once again the dibs system has failed me...

Hard to price these i would imagine. Have 2 friends who own a laser each, they figure they are worth 10k gbp each. Im clueless to their value but it sounds ridiculous!

But then again many bike prices are, like this ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Custom-Built-Touring-Bicycle-Bike-Huret-Phil-Wood-TS-Mafac-Ideale-3ttt-/350794331059?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51acf8b3b3http://rover.ebay.com/roverimp/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=2&pub=5574889051&toolid=10001&campid=5336525415&item=350794331059&mpt=6146234

Their shop is called 'Budget bicycle center'....

btw: it's an ugly piece of overbuilt crap.

From a buyer who have had it in his shop forever and most likely dident know the true value. He also sold it for about 7k if im not misstaken and that was a geared laser. Pistas should be quite bit more i would think.

bit racist, but very much this

usually lack of trust in online payments is aimed at Nigeria, so quite refreshing to see that love spreading

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! ;]]

it isnt worth 2 grand, but someone will pay more than that for it!! each to their own.....................i aint knocking anybody......just think the prices are stupid.............how many worlds been won on a lazer ??
i do love the frames......but i live in the real world

it's refreshing to see someone thinking that anti-russian attitudes are refreshing for a change :)

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.

it isnt worth 2 grand, but someone will pay more than that for it!! each to their own

it is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it:)
