At least a couple bongs I bet.
is 4 out of the question?
There’s a 48 cm frame on the 'Bay listed for 3k, but it’s damn near mint.
You could always list it for 4 and let it soak. You might get a bite. Just make sure to turn off offers, or you’ll get every lowball offer out there.

I think there must be a way to set a minimum offer on the backside, with an auto-reply. I’ve definitely made offers on stuff and instantly got a rejection that seemed robo-generated.

Yeah, there is a minimum offer. But in my experience, someone will eventually pay my asking price if I’m patient.

I’ve definitely been on the buying side of that. Checking in on an auction over a day. Then every other day. Then a week later just to see if the price has dropped…then a month later I say eff it and just buy.
@quilbert420 can you get some really nice pics of it and get prolly to feature it on reader’s rides or something first?
lol I might be your huckleberry again, is this the version that has an 11-34 cassette?
especially if we can find a way to replace the banjo hoses without re-buying the OEM EC-DB003 every time

Haha yes. 11-34. Original chain but always Silca waxed and in good shape.
I probably have some hose kits somewhere.

I’m new to hydros but I refuse to do banjos for this very reason.
51 ST/52 TT Landshark Road Shark
Got some surface rust where the paint chipped. dura ace hubs and brakes with ultegra everything else. gonna try to sell it at a bike swap this weekend. does $400 sound fair enough?
I think $400 is a fair starting point. The size with that tiny ht might be a tough sell but who knows. If I saw a ~60cm landshark like that at a swap I would definitely lowball at like $250.
I feel like you’ll either get asking by a bike nerd who’s stoked on that specific thing, or passed on by a lot of folckx if it isn’t in rideable condition. with that in mind, if you want to unload it, making it rideable would help significantly even with parts bin parts

thanks for the insight y’all. I was gonna recable/house it but then realized the rear shifter is not functioning. unfortunately don’t have another one on hand, so maybe I’ll just knock the price down a little
Just flush it with some pb blaster and the pawls might just spring back to life.
update for those interested: had the landshark tagged for $333 and nobody bit all day. lots of people told me it was a great deal but it was too small for just about everyone. end of the day I traded for this Basso with full Shimano tri color that fits my partner and is in working condition

Omg. I bought a Basso Gap frameset of that exact color scheme brand new in like 1990. I think that paint scheme was called Mexico.

Good trade imo. On the topic of vintage road bikes, I’m thinking of selling my Lemond team z. Not sure what to ask. The full 600 group is mint(hoods, no rash, tricolor logos intact, matching hubs/skewers etc) so it might be better to part that out as a kit to some nerd.
