I am getting ready to put my 80's CIOCC up for sale. It has Shimano 600 sis components that work as well as the day they arrived...perfectly.

Cinelli bars (42 " i think)

The rims are Mavic MA40's

This bike would have to be considered a project bike though because I live on the NJ shore and the salt air has caused some surface rust on the chrome fork...not a big deal just cosmetic. I noticed it is now getting some corrosion under the paint too.

I recently purchased a new bike so I am considering putting her up for sale.

Any thoughts on best approach for selling....pricing?
Craigslist ?
EBay?
Some better site>>????

Ill follow up with photos.

Ebay is pretty good, although shipping can be a pain. Lots of action on the NYC-area CL as well--although you do get a fair number of idiots. Do not hold--be firm--first person to show up with the money gets the bike. (You will hear stories that will amaze you, but be firm on this.)

I would also say--please post an ad with accurate measurements c-t-c top tube and seat tube especially. Lots of folks just say unhelpful things like "it's a 58" as if that were a natural kind and not specific to the bike.

Also take some good pictures---this will do more to get you top dollar than anything else.

+1 on good quality pictures. That willl help you sell your bike fast.
i would also list the components and tubing so people know your a bike enthusisit and not some guy who stole this on the street and dont know anythign about it.

there were plenty of times i saw a decent picture on CL but the description was so terrible i didnt wanna call cause i thought it was stolen.

I am in the same boat with this Rossin .. too small for me but too big to store in the garage.

Oh that is a fine whip right there! How much cake would it take to own?

56cm?

 

[troutmd]

measures 55 x 55 c-2-c ... $450

 

[davcruz]

$450 = what do I get, as shown? It is a beauty, a tad short for me but I would live I think.

Yes, for $450 you get the Rossin just as you see in the picture. Thanks for asking.

Looks nice & just my size...to bad I'm poorer than a crack addict right now...

 

[BarkingDog]

I have decided that the bike is for sale.
Any thoughts on what I should ask?

 

[orbeamike]

List on CL for $450 to 500, take the offer anything above $400.

 

[FatTireFred]

you're gonna regret selling that

 

[BarkingDog]

yes i do know that i will miss it.

it is getting some rust spots due to salt air and moisture in my basement.

I want to get her into the hands of someone who will appreciate the bike and get it repainted and restored to former glory.

 

[FatTireFred]

in that case you should be able to get 400 for the frameset alone
