Highest bid: $5,500 reserve not met
2009 Colnago EPS 62 cm AMIT Campy Super Record 11 Campy Bora Ultra Two
In November 2010, Frame and Wheel listed a 2009 Colnago Extreme Power Super (EPS) 62cm road bike, built up with 2010 Campagnolo Super Record 11-Speed group set and Campagnolo Bora Ultra Two tubular wheels. Soon after the bike was listed, the seller changed his mind, and the auction was ended. A few weeks after that, the seller decided to re-list it, but soon after changed his mind once more. The seller understandably did not want to sell this bicycle, but now must do so to meet some financial obligations. The seller has come to terms with this difficult decision and realizes that there will be other bicycles in the future and that the timing is right to put the bicycle on the market. The bicycle has been sitting in an office since November.
The bicycle was previously listed as a ten day auction in November 2010 with a starting bid of $10,000. The auction was ended after five days, at which time the bicycle had 470 views and 27 watchers and interest from the United Kingdom and the United States. The bicycle is being re-listed at $9,500. Shipping is free in the United States. Frame and Wheel ships internationally and welcomes international buyers. Please please contact Frame and Wheel about shipping internationally before you bid. The revised description is below:
Frame and Wheel is bringing to market a 2009 Colnago Extreme Power Super (EPS) 62 cm carbon 11-speed road racing bicycle (discontinued color: AMIT). The owner of this bicycle purchased the frameset new from R&A Cycles in New York City in late November 2009 and had the bicycle built up with 2010 Campagnolo Super Record 11-Speed and 2010 Campagnolo Bora Ultra Two tubular wheels at Cyclemania in Portland, Maine. The bicycle features a 2010 Cinelli RAM 2 fully integrated carbon bar and stem (white) and a 2010 Selle Italia Carbon SLR saddle. The original owner paid approximately $15,000 for this bicycle.
The bicycle has been carefully maintained and it is in excellent condition. It is ready to ride. The owner of this bicycle is 6 feet 3 inches in height and a former U.S. professional road cyclist with a knowledge of and appreciation for classic European brands. The owner is selling this bicycle to raise money to meet financial obligations. The bicycle was built up in April of 2010 and delivered in July 2010. The owner rode it fewer than ten times (less than 500 miles). It has never been raced, crashed or dropped and it has never been ridden or transported in wet or winter conditions. The bicycle weighs 14 lbs 13 ounces (6.7 kg) as shown. The serial number is X3F110 and it is on the inside of the non-drive drop out. The sale also includes two original Campagnolo wheel bags. This sale does not include pedals, a Cinelli mount for a road computer or water bottle cages. There are 130 detailed pictures of this bike at Frame and Wheel eBay Selling Services and on Facebook at Frame and Wheel. There is also a video. Please take a look. The bicycle is being sold as is.
Review of condition
The bicycle is in excellent condition and ready to ride. It is clean and there are no scratches, cracks or bulges in the finish of the frame. There are no scratches on the bottom of the down tube, the back of the seat tube, on the underside of the crown or on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell. The shifting is smooth and complete and the cables and housing are fresh. The brakes are adjusted properly, the brake cables are fresh and the brake pads are not worn (7 mm of pad). There is no play in the headset and it turns smoothly. The wheels are true and round and spinning smoothly and the freewheel pawls are quiet. The spokes are tight and straight and the skewers have no scratches on them. The braking surface of the rims show no wear and there is no glue on the rims. The tread on the front tire is fresh and the wear on the rear tire is light. The chain does not read 0.75 on the chain wear tool. There is no lateral play in the cranks. Frame and Wheel noted the following: the sides of the saddle show light signs of wear, the handlebar tape is dirty and has some grease marks on it, there is a 15mm scratch on the right side wall of the front tire by the label, and there is a 2mm x 3mm smudge from where the brake cable has rubbed against the head tube. Frame and Wheel carefully inspected this bicycle numerous times, but cannot guarantee that every imperfection has been spotted.
Frame and Wheel conclusion
This is a very unique and very fast road racing bicycle that is in excellent condition. It will suit the tall rider who races or rides enthusiastically and has an appreciation for high performance bicycles. The bicycle has a classic and fluent Italian voice that will inspire its new owner to create masterpiece rides and try for glorious victories. Frame and Wheel believes that this offering is a rare and excellent opportunity to acquire an effectively new, top-end racing bicycle at a substantial discount to its original price. The only imperfection on this otherwise immaculate and thoroughly Italian racing bicycle are the Bontrager spacers on the steer tube. Fortunately, they are not easily spotted, but the new owner may well consider replacing them, as a gesture to gods of Italian cycling.
