Old School Hero
Hello everyone,
i would appreciate your opinion regarding a reasonable price for each of the following bundles. the frames correspond to used mtbs and some have some dings or may require a paint to bring them to "concours" condition!
- Ritchey Force Comp frame + fork, original ritchey force stem and handlebar, kalloy seatpost = the right seatstay has been re-welded to the chainstay as both were loose (no damage)
- Ritchey Ascent Comp frame + fork, ritchey force stem and ritchey handlebar, kalloy seatpost = one ding on top tube and paint in rough condition
thank you in advance for your comments/recommedations!

Repair work would surely limit the value of the Comp.

I always assume if there's been a post like this with no replies, it's because everyone else has already snuck into the OP's PMs to make their offers!

Are you still looking to sell these?
 
Hello, both bikes were for sale locally previously but i can ship them worldwide ! force comp has been repaired and ascent comp need eventually a bit of filling on top tube before new painting. no repair needed on this frame!

Or just because it's hard to suggest a price for very nice frames that have lost/will lose originality due to the need for reapirs and repaint.

What size is the Ascent Comp? Fortunately, I think they are both too small for me.
 
The Ritchey Force Comp frame is in Ritchey 4130 steel, measured at 16in from center of crankset to intersection of seat-tube and top tube, 16.5in from center of crankset to top of seat-tube

FWIW the Ritchey Force Comp is the equivalent of the same vintage Rocky Mountain Fusion (my brother owned one BITD). I saw these locally and didn't appreciate that the Ritchey was repaired.

I find it hard to value old steel frames these days as they seem to go for a song in Vancouver now - like $20 - 50 and whole bikes in the value range between $150 and 350. A couple of years ago I picked up an MS Racing bike complete for parts for $50. A frame and parts bundle that doesn't include wheels I would expect to get max 100$ unless the frame was something special or in really good shape.
