Anyone have any idea what a Pinarello MTB frame is worth?

I bought for the lugs, not the stickers, didn't really think Cannondale had ever made steel but who knows, Americans do weird things sometimes.

Yes, I don't think we have the bike inflation you have for old Italians. It's actually been kind of a banner year for the quiver, Chesini frame for 150, Bottechia for 100 and Atala for 15, plus an older Atala and Bianchi downstairs for bar-hopping. The bent Benotto in the back got me around for a couple years, not sure how safe it is to ride much longer though. Oz. for Oz., I think the Chesini would pay the whole trip, I really should stop riding it the paint is so cherry.

I'm actually in a secret location in southern Europe. How much do you think it is worth? I might be planning a trip to UK later this summer.

same guy is selling Diamant TT frame for 25. Just not sure I can store them all.

I was skeptical too, it was sight unseen for 20 quid. No worries though, I've got friends looking for cheap rides.

Hi - I just picked up this Six13 frame for what I think is a good price, was interesting because of lugged frame and horizontal dropouts, thought I might go ss on it. Anybody know any thing about these frames? Any help appreciated.

YES! People don't understand that bicycling is a war and it's us humans against the grams.
Shoes weigh a lot - the S-Works shoes I had were almost 250 grams. I stopped wearing shoes. I use a 2-part airplane epoxy to glue a carbon fiber plate to my feet and attach my cleats to that. I save almost 130 grams. (Edit: this also let me get rid of socks, which saved me almost 80 grams!)
I was running 16 spoke wheels, but I was thinking about it and why do I have so many spokes, right? Spokes weigh almost 4.5 grams each! So I got rid of about 1/2 of them, which saved me almost 70 grams, and I drilled small holes into the remaining spokes.
When you look at your bike, there's probably a lot of other parts you don't need. Like the hoods on your brifters? That's extra grams. How long are your cables? All the extra length sticking out is extra grams. So are the little plastic things at the end. Look at how fat your brake pads are. I shave mine down.
I exfoliate with steel wool every single day get rid of unnecessary skin grams.
I am thinking about trying something instead of water - something less dense. I found out alcohol is 21% less dense than water, so if we have a 1 liter bottle, we could save 210 grams by switching to pure ethanol.
It's also important to get aero.
You can make your water bottles extra aero by flattening them with a clothes iron.
I found a plastic surgeon who is going to re-shape my head this off-season, and I think it will make me 1.4% more aero.

i gotta guy who does finger and toe nail removal if you want. you need to schedule in advance and take a couple days off afterwards.

atala's are fun & cheap & good for bar hopping in sketchy hoods

Benotto is nice, rode one for awhile and really like the geometry, you're right on top of the front wheel.

I just picked up a Chesini Criterium frame in perfect shape, 80s i think. Waiting for approval to post pictures, but quite beautiful.
