2010 BH G5 57cm carbon frameset integrated seat tube (IST) BB30

Sold: $1,225
2010 BH G5 57cm carbon frameset integrated seat tube (IST) BB30
Frame and Wheel is bringing to market a 2010 BH G5 57 cm carbon fiber road frame set on eBay. This frameset was up for auction on eBay in late March, but it failed to reach the reserve price of $1,400. The closing price was $1,325 with 8 bids from 4 bidders over seven days. Frame and Wheel is auctioning this item as a ten day no reserve auction.
The frameset was purchased new in April 2010 through a sponsorship arrangement between BH USA and California Pools Dewalt Cycling Team in San Diego, California. The frame was raced for the 2010 season in California and has an estimated 2,000 miles on it. It has never been crashed and it has had only one previous owner. The frame has been in storage as shown since October of 2010. The previous owner is selling the frame because he wants to allocate his resources towards the operation and maintenance of another racing bicycle. This frame features an integrated seat post, a BB30 bottom bracket shell and a recessed channel down the bottom of the down tube to hide cables and provide a mount for a Shimano Di2 battery. The frame was previously built up with Campagnolo components and therefore the sale includes Campagnolo BB30 adapter cups. The bike as shown weighs 4 pounds and 1 ounce (1.8 kg). The serial number is on the bottom of the bottom bracket and reads BI 0016 P10027335300440. There are over 100 detailed pictures of this frame at Frame and Wheel eBay Selling Services and on Facebook at Frame and Wheel. Please take a look. The bicycle is being sold as is.
Review of condition
The frame is in very good condition. It is clean and there are no scratches, bubbles or cracks in the frame. There is no wear on the underside of the front fork crown, on the underside of the down tube or on the back of the seat tube. The rear derailleur hanger is straight, there is no corrosion in the bolt holes and the carbon front derailleur hanger is not worn or compromised. Frame and Wheel notes the following: there is a 10mm x 5mm chip in the finish on the non drive side of the bottom bracket, there is a 5mm x 5mm chip in the finish on the drive side of the down tube, just under the word “Global”, there are two chips in the finish of about 4mm x 4mm on the drive side of the chain stay. There is some light abrasion on the sides of the head tube from the cables. There is some wear at the top of the seat mast from seat post collar. There are abrasions from the bolts that mount the brakes to the frame. Frame and Wheel carefully inspected this frame, but cannot guarantee that every imperfection has been spotted. 
Frame and Wheel conclusion
This is a very light and nicely finished frame that features all that is new in high performance road frames: BB30 bottom bracket, integrated seat post, Shimano Di2 compatibility, carbon front derailleur hanger. The frame will suit the taller rider who already has BB30 cranks (or a Campagnolo crankset) and who wants to upgrade to something light. This is a great opportunity to realize some excellent value and to join the growing peleton of BH riders.

Sold: $10
2010 Deda Zero100 Servizio Corse 80mm stem
Frame and Wheel is auctioning on eBay a 2010 Deda Zero100 Servizio Corse 80mm alloy stem. The previous owner purchased the stem new at Cyclemania in Portland, Maine earlier this year and installed it on his primary racing bike, but found that it was too short. The stem was switched out after two months of use and has been in storage in its original box ever since. The stem is in good condition. The face plate is not cracked, there is no corrosion in any of the bolts, the screws are not stripped, all the bolts and washers included and there are no major scratches or bends. Frame and wheel notes the following: there are light abrasions around the stem from where a road computer was mounted with zip ties. There are small scratches on the face plate. There are no recalls out for this stem. Frame and Wheel’s view is that this is an excellent opportunity to obtain a very short but very well made stem at a good discount to the retail price. The stem is being sold as is.

2010 Easton EC90 Aero carbon tubular rear wheel 700c

Sold: $360
2010 Easton EC90 Aero carbon tubular rear 700c 20 spoke
Frame and Wheel is bringing to market a 2010 Easton EC90 Aero carbon tubular rear wheel. The wheel was purchased new at Hi-Tech Bikes in San Diego in April 2010 as part of a promotion for Power Taps. Buyers of an Easton EC90 wheel built up with a Power Tap were offered a standard EC90 rear wheel at a substantial discount as a back up or a race wheel. The only previous owner embraced this promotion, but ended up using this wheel approximately five times. It has never been crashed and it is in very good condition. There are no cracks in the rim and it is true and round. The spokes are tight and straight. The braking surface of the rim is not worn. The bearings are running smoothly. The Continental Sprinter mounted on the rim is very lightly used. firmly glued and holding pressure. Frame and Wheel notes the following: the pawls are a bit loud and are perhaps due for a cleaning. There are some light abrasions on the splines from the cassette. The Continental tire has a 10 mm gash on the drive side of the tire just above the sidewall. Frame and Wheel’s view is that this is a very nice and light wheel that is still capable of rolling many fast hours either on a road bike or on a triathlon bike. It will also make very nice back up tubular until the new owner can obtain an Easton EC90 Aero tubular front wheel and make a wheel set. Includes Continental valve extender. Skewer and cassette not included. The wheel is being sold as is.

2009 Colnago EPS 62cm AMIT

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.

2008 Spiuk Kronos Time Trial Helmet M/L White

Sold: $102.50
2008 Spiuk Kronos Time Trial Helmet M/L White
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a white 2008 Spiuk Kronos Time Trial Helmet on The Frame and wheel eBay Store. This helmet has had one previous owner who purchased it new in 2008 and used it for the 2009 racing season. The helmet has been in storage ever since. The helmet has never been crashed or dropped. The previous owner is retiring from the triathlons. The helmet weighs 13 ounces (370 g). It is a size M/L (54-61cm) and features an adjustable head strap. The helmet is being sold as is. The helmet is in very good condition and shows very few signs of wear and tear. The interior styrofoam shell is not cracked or damaged, the plastic straps are firmly mounted to the styrofoam shell, the adjustable head strap works fine, the chin strap works fine, the interior padding is not ripped and it is clean and there are no noticeable blemishes on the exterior shell. Frame and Wheel notes the following: there is a 2cm x 8cm area on the top right hand side of the helmet where there are light scratches. The are six 3mm to 5mm cracks in the right front edge of the helmet shell covering. The right edge of the screen at the back of the helmet was loose, which seems to be a common feature of these helmets. Frame and Wheel successfully glued it back into place. Frame and Wheel inspected the helmet closely, but cannot guarantee that every imperfection has been spotted. Frame and Wheel’s view is this that is a very light, comfrotable and aerodynamic helmet, suitable for time trials as well as triathlon. Frame and Wheel is impressed with the chin strap pad that keeps the loose end of the chin strap in place and provides additional padding on the chin. This simple feature is far more comfortable and effective than the tiny rubber bands offered on Giro and other time trial helmets. The offering is excellent value.

2011 Selle San Marco Mantra Carbon FX Saddle Black

Sold $109.00
2011 Selle San Marco Mantra Carbon FX Saddle Black
Frame and Wheel is auctioning on eBay a black 2011 Selle San Marco Mantra Carbon FX saddle. The saddle was purchased new at Pista Palace in San Diego in 2010. It was mounted on a road bike and soon after it was switched out for a different saddle. It has been in storage and unused ever since. The saddle has had only one previous owner and he is selling it because it was not comfortable for him. The saddle is in good condition: it is clean, there are no abrasions from a crash, the covering is not faded or discolored from rubbing or the elements, there are no tears or rips in the “microfeel” synthetic leather surface of the saddle, there are no cracks in the rails and the saddle is not loose upon the frame. Frame and Wheel notes the following: there is 1mm x 5mm scuff mark on the right forward tip of the saddle. There is a 1mm x 2mm abrasion on the rear underside of the saddle perhaps from a saddle bag. Some of the lettering on the rails have faded. There are some creases in the top of the saddle from normal wear and tear. Frame and Wheel inspected the saddle closely, but cannot guarantee that every imperfection has been spotted. Frame and Wheel’s view is that this is a very nice and light road saddle with plenty of hours still left in it. It will suit the rider who already has a seat post that will accommodate a Selle San Marco saddle, and who is knowledgeable about and comfortable with Selle San Marco saddles. Please note that the rails that sit in the seat post bolt have a rectangular shape rather than a round shape. There is about 55mm of rail for the seat post bolt and the rails are about 43mm apart center to center The saddle is being sold as is.

Shimano WH-R550 aluminum 650c clincher wheelset with cassette and tires


Sold: $84.00
Shimano WH-R550 650c clincher wheel set
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a pair of black Shimano WH-R550 650c aluminum clincher wheels. These wheels include a Shimano 105 CS-5600 ten speed cassette (12-27) and a mounted pair of Vittoria Rubino Pro 650 x 23 tires. Please note that these wheels are not the standard 700c size. They are smaller and suit small size bikes only. The wheels were on a 2008 Cervelo P3C 48cm that was purchased new from Peak Performance in Portland, Maine in August 2008 (Please see this bike at the Frame and Wheel eBay Store where it also on auction). The wheels have had only one previous owner and have been used primarily for training. They have never been crashed. The front wheel as shown weighs 2 pounds 8 ounces. The rear wheel as shown weighs 3 pounds 8 ounces. They are eight, nine and ten speed compatible. The magnet pictured is not included with the sale. Sorry. Includes two spare tubes as consolation. The wheels are being sold as is.
Review of condition
The wheels are in good condition. The wheels are clean and ready to ride. They are true and round and the spokes are tight and straight; the splines on the free hub body are undamaged and the pawls are quiet; there is no play in the front or the rear hub; and, the skewers are included and functioning properly. Frame and Wheel notes the following: The front bearings feel a bit rough and are probably due for a cleaning. The braking surfaces of the rims show some wear. The tread on the rear tire is worn flat. Frame and Wheel cleaned and inspected this wheel set very carefully, but cannot guarantee that all imperfections have been spotted.
Frame and Wheel conclusion
These wheels will make an excellent set of training wheels for anyone who has a 48cm size time trial bike or road bike. Indeed, these wheels will complement very nicely the 2008 Cervelo P3C that Frame and Wheel is simultaneously auctioning.
