MTB0007 Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 Hi I've been offered a 80's Alpina StradaFull shimano 600 groups etc,Reynolds 501 Needs attending to on saddle and brake hoodsPaint very clean and no scratches My question What should I offer?
Zebra Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I bought one 1 week ago, the Columbus equivalent of your tubing, Alpina, less-pristine condition than yours... Exage group set, works brilliantly, but 2 levels below600/ Ultegra. AskedR2k, I paidR1.5K, then promptly spent R1.5K on it/servicing, new handlebars, clean up, etc. So I do thinkR3k would be a fair price to OFFER,you may choose to pay more, but 501 Reynolds is entry-level tubing,etc... Maybe up to R3.5K; let’s see what others say...
MTB0007 Posted April 1, 2021 Author Posted April 1, 2021 Thanks I'm also looking at a 525 Alpina but a lot worse condition So maybe 3500 isn't too bad
MTB0007 Posted April 2, 2021 Author Posted April 2, 2021 Bought it , I went to look and its in pristine condition

MTB0007 Posted April 2, 2021 Author Posted April 2, 2021 R4000Buts its mint Full shimano 600 including BB and Headset, shimanano 600 hubs are clean and smooth.. Excellent paint work she's been referberbished by someone Just the saddle was worn I've put my fizik on her and sent the original saddle to be recovered in white leatherI couldn't refurbish an oldie for that priceVery happyRuns smooth and feels nice and firm
WrightJnr Posted April 2, 2021 Posted April 2, 2021 When you posted it in the other thread I was about to comment that the saddle was “out of place” and you need to find something more appropriate. Now reading this thread realize you’ve got the original. Awesome!
MTB0007 Posted April 2, 2021 Author Posted April 2, 2021 The original Selle Italia Turbo saddle was badly worn outI've sent it to be recovered in white
