New Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 53cm frame set Champagne road

Frame and Wheel is offering a new Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 53 cm frame set on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The frame set is new in 2013 and the first Austro-Daimler Superleicht Di2 Carbon in the Champagne finish to come to the market. The frame set has never been built up. The frame set features Austro-Daimler 37SL full carbon front fork, Austro-Daimler full carbon Champagne finish seat post with single bolt seat clamp and alloy seat collar, English thread 68 mm bottom bracket and integrated sealed cartridge head set. The frame features full carbon construction, Di2 specific design, internal cabling, bolted front derailleur hanger for braze-on front derailleur, replaceable rear derailleur hanger, tapered head tube (1 1/8 to 1 1/4 inch steer tube), asymmetric top tube and seat stays, oversized down tube and chain stays and distinctive and original Champagne finish. The frame set as shown weighs 1.7 kg (3 pounds 12 ounces). The frame serial number reads CG1202011487. The front fork serial number reads CG1202006387.  The frame set is designed for electronic shifting (Di2) only. Cable stops are absent and there are openings on the bottom bracket and the down tube for wires and junctions. No chain stay protector or water bottle cage bolts included. Please see a review about the fully built up bike at the Frame and Wheel blog and testimonials from the other owners of this frame set. Please see 80 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.

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, bulges, discolorations, flexing or flaking that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the frame. The rear triangle is in alignment with the centerline of the frame. The rear derailleur hanger is straight and undamaged. The top tube cable stops are undamaged and clear of obstructions. The wiring openings on the down tube, bottom bracket and chain stay are not damaged or obstructed. There is no corrosion in the water bottle bolt holes. The bottom bracket shell is not damaged or corroded. The bottom bracket threads are not stripped. There are no cracks, bulges, discoloration, flexing or flaking that raise concerns about the structural integrity of the front fork. The front fork has safety tabs. The crown race is the correct diameter. The cartridge bearings are not corroded or damaged. The cartridge bearings turn smoothly and the head set is complete. The seat clamp works properly.

Frame and Wheel conclusion

Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 Champagne frame set will suit the performance cyclist who seeks to upgrade 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 now seeks to 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 and weight, but with a classic European voice. Built up with Zipp 303 carbon tubular wheels, a Shimano Dura-Ace  Di2 7900 group set and 3T stem and bars, the bicycle will be light and fast with a distinctive voice that speaks of classic cycling with a contemporary accent. The new owner for a time will also be one of two riders in the world riding an Austro-Daimler Superleicht Carbon Di2 road bike in the distinctive and original Champagne finish. Frame and Wheel is very happy to have the company.
