We can't give valuations except on the 'what's my X worth?' thread, but as a general principle you're going to take a big hit if you haven't got time to do any work on it.murgo":3eqrq02z said:
People on here obviously point to the different vintages of the parts, but a mainstream eBay buyer is going to be more concerned about the lack of a front brake. Not that it's difficult to rig up a disc brake, but the great majority of eBay buyers want to buy a finished article, not a work in progress.
In general, any bike with decent parts is worth c 50% more split up than as a complete bike. In this case, I would raise that to twice as much.
If you do split it, I would take up orange 71's suggestion and contact Dave Yates with the serial number and a photo of the frame. It should sell well on here with all its details established, including build date. It's a very good frame. Columbus Max is an excellent, expensive tubeset, and Yates is a top craftsman.
