Campag Eurus 2008 Rims with Fortezza tyres

42 tooth inner ring? Either you don't do much climbing or your a horse of a man.

hard to say, it is extremely difficuilt to get anything near what the 'value' of a second hand high end bike may be on the second hand market. frame <1k new, build ~ 1-1.5k, so about 2.5k?

eg see some of the high end ones on adverts that never even get a nibble never mind a bite.

Would say you could get 1000-1500 for it. It may be worth more to you though.

Its worth a lot more than that, I reckon around 2500 maybe

yep, the frames are $800 or so. $2.5k for a ultegra build.

yep, dunno a price for them, but ultegra has to be the closest equivalent?

Actually current Chorus is more expensive than current Dura-ace.

It's only worth what someone will give you for it.

Price-wise, Ultegra is closer to Centaur and Dura-Ace is closer to Chorus. In terms of performance, well that would be an ecumenical matter...

If this is for anything other than a reasonably short burst this would pretty much make the OP the best cyclist in Ireland. So there you go lads, this bike belongs to a superstar and it could belong to you too !

That was taken in Ucc in 2007 and i do have a decent output but my problem is i get sick really easy and i have crashed twice this year not on the Cervelo on my TT bike and got hit by a car last year so for me ive spent more time looking at the bike then on it and im not a superstar but i have rode the ras a few times and raced in france and belgum as well

is it your FTP? (ie average power over 1 hr all out?) Impressive if it is.

30s, 60s, 5 min, FTP. 400 watts for what?

Ooops beaten to it.

Emmmmm I am going to venture a guess that your power meter is not correctly calibrated.

400watts for 20 minutes implies an FTP of 380 watts. At 63kg thats 6.03watts per kg - falling into the "World class" range for FTP.

What power meter did you use?

Good point.

Given the less than common gearing and crank length that might make people a little less inclined to pay top dollar, likewise I don't think many people would want the pedals.

Nice gruppo and wheels.

I'd say 1200-1400.

crashoveroid

I Cant do much about crank length but i can put the original rings back on and take off the Rotor rings
