  1. Maybe $550 USD on a lucky day. The velo orange saddle is only $35 rn (on sale) but $50 typically. . Can’t determine the wheelset or crankset based on my knowledge. Whisky bar is weird but isn’t cheap, ($158 MSRP).

    Thunderdome framesets go for $900 new, although I’ve seen some for sale for $600. A halfway decent build would put you up to at least $1,200, so I’d say $600-$800 would be a fair price used, depending on components & condition.

  4. I paid $475 for my thunderdome in excellent condition, near new.

    These are special: well designed and engineered, tear drop tubing, UCI certified, quality stock components, quality carbon fork, an actual track and crit bike. With clearance for 30 mm (front – rear can handle 32). It’s pretty light, very stiff, and a joy. Also remember: these were small batch and handmade.

    The ONLY thing I would change, would be the head tube angle being 73-73.5 instead of the 72.5 it is. And it’s no slouch in steering, but that would be my preference. Outside of that it’s one of the best framesets I’ve ridden, and I’ve ridden quite a few.

    90% of the stuff that is posted in here is not nearly as well designed. It’s “moar aro”, but definitely not designed better or thought out.

    That being said, I wouldn’t pay 1k for one. It’s a down market. But it also depends on your own market. I’m in Chicago and idiots are paying $600+ for basic ass used chromo Pistas that don’t hold a candle performance wise, because Celeste.

    I’d look at your market, and eBay. There are deals to be had everywhere. But if you could get it for $6-700, I think it’s a relatively good deal. All I did was swap tires and latex tubes and it’s been a dream ever since.
