MARINONI

[Deejay]

I'm thinking of selling my MARINONI which I've had for a while, but hoping some people with more knowledge can tell me what it's worth. I don't know when it was made but it has a 56 cm Columbus frame, 700C Wolber alloy wheels, 7-speed Sachs-Maillard freewheel, 2-speed alloy chainset and Shimano 600 derailleurs and brakes. The blue/green paintwork is almost perfect. What's it worth?

I paid $600 CDN for mine, from an ad in Kijiji. His asking price was $650. The serial number starts with 90 which makes me wonder if it was made in 1990. The decals are similar to yours. I would pay $600 for yours and sell mine possibly.

Hi Brian, You don't say whether you bought yours as it is in the photo, but I think mine is quite a bit cleaner. On the other hand mine is missing the original seat and seat post. I think we're on the same page as to what it's worth. If you could send me your email address, I could send you more photos. Cheers, Dave

I found what might be a serial number under the BB. It looks like 555DD.
