Well, too much of a discount would force Rivendell to eat the cost of repairs. I'd assume these are being handed over to a framebuilder for tube replacement and then off to a painter. Consider the cost of replacing a frame tube (last time I checked locally it ran around 250-400 bucks per tube, depending on the builder); a simple powder- coat job (including old paint removal and surface prep) will set you back a MINIMUM of 100-150 bucks if done professionally. Of course there's some devaluing to be expected because the frame had been in need of repair in the first place; but all I'm saying is don't grumble too much if the cost of repair forces Riv and Co. to set what some might consider a high price for the finished product. I would guess that resurrecting the frame to prove steel's durability is more the point here. I don't expect a screaming bargain-basement sort of thing, because if they est the price too low that WOULD devalue everything else they do.
