| I have been holdin gon for sentimental reasons to a "Proteus" with Reynolds tubing, about 35 years old, with Campagnolo 90% thorughout in good condition. Is this thing worth anything, as far as Vintage and so forth> by: 99.19.235.13 |
| It should certainly be worth holding onto. Especially, if it holds sentimental value, and certainly if you would like to ride it some! It should also have value.....not sure how much - but I believe it is a make that would hold value, and increase in value through the years. You might could check ebay and such - and maybe see what they have sold for, etc. by: 74.235.75.185 |
| There's not a lot of Proteus out there. There is a small but devoted bunch of collectors of old high-end hand-made bikes and your bike is worth something to them. Maybe it doesn't have the cachet of a Herse, Jack Taylor, or Cinelli but it's very respectable. Clean it up and ride it and you'll be surprised at the compliments you get from riders of modern plastic bikes. You'll get a lot of pleasure out of its desirable riding qualities, too. by: 216.15.114.27 |
| A coincidence or is this your bike on Balto CL? http://baltimore.craigslist.org/bik/1446160647.html Very nice bike, looks like a good deal for a tall guy (wish I had the $$$). by: 216.15.114.27 |
| a bargain! by: 24.215.86.83 |
| ...Except that the hubs are not NR....maybe Tipo? by: 24.215.86.83 |
| The front hub (can't see rear) has the oval holes of the Record hub, not the round ones of the Tipo. It looks all-correct to me. And why is it still for sale on Monday morning??!! (Maybe I can skip my tax payment and buy it!) by: 216.15.114.27 |
| Ahhh they looked round but as you say they are oval. Trick of the eye, or photo. by: 24.215.86.83 |
