That seems like a very reasonable price for the bike and build. That said, let me know if you want to unload those cranks after purchasing. You know, to recoup your costs and what not... Darin On Sunday, August 26, 2018 at 6:27:56 PM UTC-7, James Copp wrote: > > He wants 1,200 > > On Thursday,

Orange was the 1st run of Toyo made frames. Somewhat less than 1200 total were made in all 3 colors over the model run and the serial # on the underside of the BB shell will give you some idea of where in the sequence yours was. Yours has nice lugs. Later lugs were simpler. The Logic cranks

My Ram is same color. I think the year is 2003-2004. I don't recall exactly. This looks like a solid build and the 1000-1500 range seems about right. (Although it would take more than that for me to let go of mine) These are japan made, and the color is beautiful. On Thursday, August 23, 2018

I agree with the other comments. I think the Rambouillet is a tremendous value these days, because it is not as fashionable, with their caliper brakes and level top tubes. Riv seems to have evolved in their design away from this look. But they can fit pretty wide tires (35-ish) and handle

This frame is a good 650b conversion candidate, or Bon Jon Pass with no fenders. Build looks like high quality parts. I'd agree in the $1000-$1500 range, the better the paint, the higher in that range it would be worth. On Fri, Aug 24, 2018 at 11:09 AM Richard Rios wrote: > I'd say between

I'd say between 1000-1500$. The Ram is a tremendous value IMHO. Especially if you compare it against Rivs current road offerings. Might also just be me and I know there has been talk that all frames are the same quality...but just from a totally novice looking from the outside perspective the

Assuming no dents, no rust, just a few scratches ( dropouts, chain stay ) and components are in working order, $ 1000-1200. I have seen them go for less, but those purchases were a steal. On Thursday, August 23, 2018 at 5:57:21 PM UTC-7, James Copp wrote: > > Hi friends, > > I am seeking help

I'll take a stab at it. Assuming the stem length, handlebar shape and width, and the gearing worked for me, and all I needed were incidentals like new cables, brake pads, and a chain, I'd be happy to part with about $1K-ish. Ebay seems to agree with me. I always assume I'll be changing the
