1983 Alex Moulton AM 7 10-day No-Reserve Worldwide Auction on Frame and Wheel eBay Store 27 September 2012

Sold: $2,551 Buyer: Japan
About the bike

Frame and Wheel is auctioning a 1983 Alex Moulton AM7 bicycle on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store on 27 September 2012 (12PM EST). The bicycle was donated by an individual to the Community Bicycle Center (CBC) in Biddeford, Maine in 2010 (The CBC is a non-profit youth development organization that empowers all youth through bicycles and bicycle-related experiences). The bicycle was in poor condition and believed to be a strong candidate for the transfer station (rubbish bin). Executive Director Andy Greif observed its unique design and noted that the problems were mostly cosmetic and repairable. He orchestrated its restoration which was completed in 2012. The bicycle has been in storage in Mr. Greif’s garage. The CBC is selling the bicycle because it would like to monetize the donation and use the proceeds to fund its youth development programs. The auction is a 10-day no-reserve worldwide auction closing on 7 October 2012. Frame and Wheel ships worldwide using Federal Express.

Alex Moulton design and many original specification components

The frame features 531 Reynolds tubing, space-frame design, “rubber ball” rear suspension, shock absorbing “leading link” front fork, frame separability into two parts, demount plate with single lever shifter, adjustable steering column, stainless steel seat tube, front and rear carrier fittings and riveted Alex Moulton “Bradford-on-Avon” head badge. The bicycle features many original specification components including Suntour Superbe rear derailleur, Regina CX freewheel body and sprockets, Moulton “Sport” Cluster (13, 11, 9), Campagnolo Record head set, CLB brakes and brake levers, Gerry Burgess handle bars and stem, Selle Italia Anatomic leather saddle with 6 mm Allen key, Blumels seat tube pump, Bluemels rear reflector and original black foam bar tape. 

New rear wheel, blue powder coat, Schwalbe tires and other improvements

Other features include Sugino Super Maxy 170 mm crank set with 53T chain ring, Campagnolo Record hubs, seventeen-inch Moulton rims and handle bar mounted rear view mirror. Improvements include the rear wheel, the Schwalbe Kojak tires, the metallic blue powder coat, the plastic front and rear mudguards and the new chain, tubes, cables and cable housing. The serial number on the bottom of the bottom bracket reads 341012 (twelfth frame produced during the 41st week of 1983). The bicycle as shown weighs 24 pounds 5 ounces (10.9 kg). No racks included. There are 250 images of the bicycle on Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look.

New Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 59cm frame set white road

Sold: $500  Buyer: USA

New Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 59cm frame set white road

Frame and Wheel is auctioning a new Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 59 cm frame set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. This frame set is one of eight “sample” Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 framesets. It has been in inventory for one year during which time Frame and Wheel has been working on the development of an eBay distribution channel, the construction of a current and informative website, and the build and test of the frame set as a fully built-up bike. This Austro-Daimler frame set has never been built up and it has always been stored indoors. Please see a review about the fully built up bike at the Frame and Wheel blog and testimonials from the three other owners of this frame set. Please see an image of Frame and Wheel and his Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 in action at the Tour of the Battenkill 2012, the Killington Stage Race and at the Tour of the Catskills. Please see additional images of the frame set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. There is additional information about the frame set geometry and available sizes at the Frame and Wheel website.

The Privileges Remain the Same 

The frame set is being auctioned in order to determine a market driven “price-point” for the other frame sets and future frame sets. Although you are obtaining your frame set on eBay in an auction, you do not in any way forfeit privileges that you would expect from a traditional retailer or a big name bicycle brand. The frame sets are new and Frame and Wheel stands behind them. The only difference is that you are paying a market price for the frame set rather than a pre-determined price. Frame and Wheel offers a fourteen day day money back return policy for all of its eBay transactions, and original owners of Austro-Daimler frame sets are eligible for the Frame and Wheel Credit or Cash program and the Frame and Wheel Clear Your Gear program. Please see the bottom of the description page for more information on both of these programs.

Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 frame set features

The frame set is designed for electronic shifting (Di2). Cable stops are absent and there are openings on the bottom bracket and the down tube for wires and junctions. The frame set features an Austro-Daimler 37SL carbon fork, full internal cabling, pearl white paint finish, tapered head tube, oversized down tube, seat tube and chain stays, asymmetrical top tube, front and rear carbon drop outs, bolt-on front derailleur hanger for the front derailleur, replaceable rear derailleur hanger and English thread 68 mm bottom bracket. The frame set includes full carbon seat post, single bolt adjustable seat clamp, Cane Creek Forty Series threadless sealed cartridge bearing head set assembly, alloy seat post collar, chain stay plate and “fishing-line” and fittings for Di2 installation. The serial number on the bottom of the bottom bracket reads CG1101003027. The serial number under the crown of the front fork reads CG1101003039. The frame set as shown weighs 1.8 kg or 3 pounds 15 ounces. The frame set is covered by Frame and Wheel’s Credit or Cash warranty program and is eligible for the Frame and Wheel Clear Your Gear program. 

Review of condition

The frame set is in excellent condition. It is clean and ready for build. There are no scratches, chips or flaking in the finish of the frame. There are no cracks or bulges that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the frame or the fork. The rear drop outs are in alignment with the centerline of the frame and the rear derailleur hanger is straight and undamaged. There is no wear on the back side of the seat tube, under the down tube, along the chain stays or under the crown of the front fork. The front derailleur hanger is screwed securely to the seat tube and is undamaged. The steer tube is not cracked or flaking. The front fork has safety tabs. The headset is complete. There is no corrosion in the bottom bracket or in the water bottle bolts. The threads on the bottom bracket are not stripped. 

For the build

The frame set is new and should be prepared and built-up by an experienced and skilled mechanic who is also familiar with installing Shimano Di2 components. The use of a drill is required to expand the opening at the top of the bottom bracket for the front derailleur wire. If using Shimano Ultegra Di2 group set, the opening on the bottom of the bottom bracket will have to be expanded in order to accommodate the slightly larger junction box. The bottom bracket and rear derailleur hanger threads should be chased and faced. Water bottle bolts and chain stay protector strip is not included. Frame and Wheel will be pleased to send the frame set directly to the independent bicycle dealer of your choice and will incentivize them to work with you. In this way you will be combining the value, convenience and selection of the Internet with the service, support and community of the local bike store. Frame and Wheel has direct access to expert mechanics who have built up the frame set and is standing by to answer any questions your mechanic has with the build.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that the Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 frame set will suit the performance cyclist who seeks to up grade to a stiff and light frame set that is designed explicitly for electronic shifting. It might suit the masters category cyclist who raced an Austro-Daimler Superleicht thirty years ago and seeks to vicariously relive the glory days of his golden youth. It may also suit the younger rider who seeks something competitive and current in terms of technology, but with a classic European voice. Built up with carbon tubular wheels and a Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 group set, the frame set becomes a bicycle that will allow the new owner to achieve these wants and desires and perhaps a few heroic wins or flyers. The new owner for a time will also be one of six riders in the world riding an Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 road bike. Frame and Wheel is very happy to have the company.

Frame and Wheel Credit or Cash Program

Frame and Wheel has observed through its secondary market business that many cyclists tire of their performance carbon frame sets after about three years and replace them with newer or different models. The old frame sets are either sold on eBay, allowed to collect dust in the basement indefinitely or sent to the landfill. Thus, the origination of the Frame and Wheel Credit or Cash program. This program allows the original owner of an Austro-Daimler frame set to return it to Frame and Wheel for what ever reason (crash damage, normal wear and tear, defect, product evolution, upgrade, etc.) in return for a credit towards a new frame set or an outright market driven cash payment. This program is easier to understand and manage than existing warranty and crash replacement programs, it creates value and satisfaction for customers and it does something for sustainability.

Frame and Wheel Clear Your Gear

Please send in your old frame set or any other unused or unwanted cycling equipment to Frame and Wheel Auction Services in the box in which you received your frame set. Frame and Wheel Auction Services will auction your old items on your behalf and forward the proceeds to you net of expenses and a commission (Please see Frame and Wheel Auction Services for more information about commissions). This program defrays the cost of your new frame set and reduces cycling equipment clutter in your home. It also allows for the sustainable use of Frame and Wheel’s fleet of custom made frame set boxes. For domestic customers, shipping is paid by Frame and Wheel and Federal Express will pick up the box from your location. For international customers, contact Frame and Wheel regarding shipping cost and you will be reimbursed through Pay Pal. 

If you are not interested in sending gear to be auctioned, that is fine and understood. Frame and Wheel will still be very grateful to have the box back so that frame sets can continue to be delivered to customers around the world. Be sure to write your name and home town on the side of the box so we will know where the box has been! If you cannot be bothered to send the box back or you would like to keep the box, that is fine too. Frame and Wheel will invoice you the cost of the box ($60.00) after three weeks and it will be yours!

It was used for recreational riding in 2011. It has less than 200 miles of use. It has been stored in a garage for 2012. It has had only one owner. It has never been crashed. The owner is selling the bicycle because she no longer has the time to ride it.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Specialized Amira Comp will make an excellent choice for the dedicated female cyclist who wants to upgrade to a women specific performance road bicycle. It will also suit a junior female cyclist who is ready to upgrade from her mother’s clunky hybrid to something that will allow her to drop her father and inspire her to start thinking about the Olympics in 2028. This Specialized Amira shows immaterial signs of wear and is effectively a new bicycle with many hours of enthusiastic riding or serious training and racing remaining in its carbon tubes, SRAM Force group set and Mavic Ksyrium wheels. Set up with deep dish carbon tubulars, this Amira will be light and fast, and it will have a racing voice equivalent to its male cousin, the Specialized Tarmac. Either way, the new owner will appreciate the performance features of this bicycle, its beautiful wine-red finish and the valuation at which it was obtained. A very specialized opportunity indeed.
