wow, its nice

price though... thats your choice, do you try sell it for what you put into it, or sell it for what its worth to someone.

biggest problem is its not a 1'' usa Taj, its also pink, which kinda rules out alot of people.

its got some nice age related parts, but again for me the snowflake wheels is another yey or ney.

so how much you thinking?

pink is def a tough sell for most people

But to try and answer your Q, i'd say around 150-200 perhaps? 

Its got alot of good parts, but was definately built for someones personal taste

At least at that sort of money the wife can't make me sell it !! back to garage with the others she goes!!!
Thank you for the prompt advice!

sorry dude, if only it was one of these then maybe you would have had fat pockets.

its not really about the money but more about the space when you have 12 hoffman bikes...................

One of the reasons Taj left HB (From what I understand) was because one batch of the bikes came with the wrong head angle (allot steeper than usual 78HA?) - It looks like your frame may be one of these, which could either make it worth more cash in the future .... or allot less .... depending on what future collectors look for in a frame.

oh great my other taj frame is the same so does that make both scrap

Now that would look awesome next to my KHE zenith. Nice work. Looks great. Id ride it . Real men ride pink.

A bike is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
I have no idea how much it's worth or what it may be worth in the future, but at a guess I think the earlier us made HB stuff will fetch more cash. But you also need to ask yourself Is this an investment or an enjoyment?

In regards to the HA .... Get an angle finder and measure the HA.
That way you know if it's over 75 ... It's steeper than it was meant to be.

the reason taj left hoffman is because taj really just wanted to do his own thing, and at the time his name was everywhere and a good time to start his own thing with joe rich and rob-o forming t-1.  taj even asked hoffman what to do and mat told him to do his own thing if that would make him happy.

all tajs are 75* head tube angle
