You can price them however you wish in the hope of some mid-life crisis, heavily intoxicated, clueless bidder comes along but in the real world..

I’ve been keeping a close eye on the price of RC-200s and since their lockdown peak when a fully restored RC-100 would sell for low to mid £2000s and a good RC-200 would sell for £1k .. maybe £1200 on a good day.

Alas, you’d be lucky to get £800 for a good RC-200 nowadays .. the last fully built / good condition RC-200 with similar components to the above (eBay auction) sold for £479 a few months ago.. as a Pace owner, it’s a sorry state of affairs, but it’s also a fact of life.

As above …. Unless it’s a spectacular spec then they struggle past 5-600£

I know that my F6 (which has lots of NOS XTR) would fetch around £2k in parts but would likely struggle past £1k complete.

The most expensive one I bought was £1600 but that was loaded

A very tempting, minty RC300 wall hanger frame +RC36 +CK sold for £550 last month, if it was up north, I would have bought it, I just couldn’t be arsed to deal with the London collection.

An tatty F5 frame sold to a member here recently via eBay auction for £220 ish..

I’d still happily pay £400 for a very good F6 frame but you know what they say about a fool and his money.. just not foolish enough to spend £1740

This is long gone a few years ago. I only have a F6 in pewter now

There is an F8 here.. the price is based in reality but the seller is wearing pink Crocs with stretch denim.. they're not even proper Crocs, just some off-brand QVC / Wynsors World Of Shoes nonsense .. my sensibilities have never been so offended!

What makes it worse, they're measuring from the ground to the top of the saddle as an indication of frame size..



Oh No! .. ^you've covered this crucial size with your fingers.. Huf! .. i'll have to post a zoom shot so people are under no miscomprehension.



That's better!

Curious* to know why the anodising has been removed from the headtube. Repaired crack?


*but not curious enough to ask the non-croc shod seller.

Nice catch! .. i never even noticed

This has 'clearing out the garage / selling son's old bike' vibes

He'll not be happy the next time he visits
