Item History & Price
This auction is for the frameset and extras only (frame, fork, Mavic bottom bracket and headset.)Other components may be available by agreement.Complete bike available by agreement with local pickup only.This item is sold as is with no returns.DETAILS
I would say this frameset is in roughly good used condition over all: some scratching, rust, grunge, etc. I have inspected this frameset thoroughly and found no dents, dings or cracks.
This frameset was built up and... ridden for approximately 150 miles. It tracked straight and rode without issues. The headset and bottom bracket are smooth.
The bolt in the number hanger is rusted in place. The number hanger braze on separated slightly from the frame when trying to remove. See last photo.
A representative from Eddy Merckx Cycles has confirmed that this is a team issued frame that was built in 1991.Max Sciandri decal on top tube; Sciandri was a member of the famed early 1990s Motorola USA racing team.Seat tube measures close to 58.5 cm center to top; top tube is close to 57 cm center to center.Tubing decal indicates Columbus TSX, but my understanding is that some team frames were actually built with Reynolds 753A local mechanic speculated that the dropout hanger threads may have been repaired at some point. I had no problem mounting a rear derailleur.Left dropout screw is bent; screw turns fine up to the bend; I believe it could easily be removed.SHIPPING
Shipping cost is an ebay estimate; buyer is responsible for (and only for) actual shipping cost including insurance and any additional services. Frameset will be securely packed and shipped in a modified bike box. International shipping will be via ebay's Global Shipping Program. Local pickup would be fine.
I’ve done my best to show and describe this frameset accurately and in depth. I have enjoyed owning this piece of cycling history and would like to pass it along to a someone who will appreciate it as much as I have. Please contact me with any questions. Thank you.
