OK, MBK, with Columbus tubing, some interest details such as the top tube has a recess on the bottom into which the rear brake cable sits. Made up with Shimano 6400 shifters, 600 cranks and brake callipers and 105 front and rear mech. The wheels are Pete Matthews again on Shimano 600 hubs. Period saddle, 3ttt bars. I think it’s probably worth more as parts but it rides nicely
How much is my road bike (or parts of) worth?

This NOS one was recently sold in Switzerland for 35 CHF, a bargain.

I bought this only a few weeks ago, its in near as new condition and totally unrestored, it has had some parts replaced by the previous owner but I honestly couldnt do it justice, it is going to be a pub bike, just wondering what its worth, I paid £500 for it, would like my money back but, am I in the right area if I ask that.

500 is a strong price for a galaxy with bar end shifters, but not unreasonable.
Given its excellent condition, somone after one of these in vgc should be prepared to stump up if its the right size and colour for them

Cougar (Terry Dolan!) on Columbus SLX with full Shimano 600 tricolor, including hubs. Pedals and headset 105. Wheels built by Pete Matthews, Cinelli bars and stem. This appears to be sound but requires a bit of minor fettling to run smoothly. Throw it out there, how much should I list it for ? ( south coast, Hants)

What it is currently worth might be somewhat less than ideal, but got to be north of £350.

A friend showed me a Colnago he's recently inherited. It says "Colnago Super" on the chainstay. I wasn't really sure what to look for at the time, and the lighting was great, but it was a dark red metallic, chromed fork and dropouts (and maybe head tube lugs), round tubes, Columbus tubing badge. It had "Colnago" engraved/stamped at the top of the seat stays. I got the impression it was probably from the 1980's. It didn't have the best components - Shimano Exage brakes and mech, for example. Stronglight chainset, Campag downtube shifters. It wasn't mint - it looked like there was rust on rear brake cable along the top tube - possibly the cable guides.
He said he'd had a look online and thought it might be worth £1,000. I'm not sure it's worth as much as that (I'd probably have said around £500 given the components and condition, although it might polish up just fine).
I know it's hard to value without photos, but is there a typical price for this model, or does it vary wildly depending on model year, condition and components etc?
