great guys! when i saw i just knew i had to have it. this is my fifth bike now...
I took it for a spin just now and it feels great, but makes me wonder how in the world those guys could push it uphill on a 40something teeth with a 20 lb bike. those are the real deal

It's got some pretty decent components and from a historical perspective it's got the right paint job ('84 Olympics), but some of the components are at least 10 years old, if not older and being that it is a steel bike it ain't the lightest ride in the world. I think you can get a few hundred dollars for it, maybe even $500. But it's all based on what someone's willing to pay, not on what it might be worth. If I may make suggestion I would market it more as the 'Bike of the 1984 Olympics' than as a retro bike. Afterall anybody that was anybody wanted a tri-color Pinarello in the mid '80's.

Edit: MR -- in answer to your question, the tubing is Columbus SL steel tubing. When I was a teenager and working in my first bike shop, this frame with the Campy Super Record grouppo was one of my dream bikes (one of many).

Nice bike, frame looks great. I assume Columbus tubing. I'm not good at putting a value on this type of bike. The down side is it's a mix of newer and maybe original parts. It certainly would be of greater value in original spec. And before someone else says it, it worth exactly what someone will pay for it!
