For Sale...most of the bikes I have
Some life events have changed and I no longer have the space, or the will, to have a fleet like I have.
I'll be keeping the Marnati, Vanilla, and Litespeed...basically everything else is available.
Nothing will be sold rock bottom, but if you want some fair pricing on some nice bikes...I think I can do that.
I don't have the energy to post photos tonight, but I've been posting them for a long time. You probably know what they look like...I will, slowly, add photos as I can. The ones with Brooks saddles will be sold sans saddles. Otherwise, unless noted, has saddle.
Have the Merckx and the De Rosa 35th on eBay already...would go down for a forumite.
All prices net to me.
Most are in good condition...most have practically unridden tires. These are the collection bikes and haven't been ridden much unless noted otherwise. I know people will have lots of specific questions, I just don't have time to list everything properly quite yet. I'll do the best I can in answering.
De Rosa Primato... 56cm ctc sq. $1300 8sp Ergo...veloflex tubularas...maybe 200 miles
De Rosa Titanio, 9sp Record, including ti post and ti rail selle flight. Has a truly unique feature...the Grammo stem has a Jen Green custom made stem plug...$1800...tubulars...will update type soon. Doubt they have 25 miles...just changed them recently. This has 10sp hubs...campy record.
Picchio...a bit of a mix on parts, but nice stuff. Mostly campy, universal cx levers/calipers, cinelli stem/bars, 55cm as I recall...if seriously interested, I'll double check...$900
Grandis...Has a few paint chips, nothing severe...about a 79' or 80...campy SR...not pedals. Can't remember if the spindle is SR or Record...apologies. 1100
I have a lot of stuff and it's a bit overwhelming...if there's a bike I have that you know you want, let me know.
Apologies...I know this ad is rough without pics, but doing what I can as I can.

Oh crap, Blessings on you and hope the sales go well.
If you need some storage space for a while, I have a big house in Lancaster that my youngest daughter is rattleing around in. Let me know.

Wish you the best with whatever is going on. You’ve amassed one of hell of a fleet and while I’m sure it will be difficult to see some go they’re all just beautiful tools in the end.

Keeping my eyes open and my ear to the ground should someone fit one of your rides Aaron. Take care of yourself, and keep us updated as you want to.

Thanks all...we do the best we can when we can, and right now trying to move faster than the traffic around me. They are just tools, and I really only ride a few regularly. It doesn’t work for me right now, and I’m at peace with it.

Bikes come and go. You can always rebuild the fleet another time if the mood strikes.
Good luck with it.

Wishing the best for your Aaron! Good luck with selling, most are all amazing bikes. Glad they are not my size, as I need to pare down a little myself and would not be able to resist the Cinelli's.

Echoing everyone else's sentiments. whatever it is you have been dealt by life's journey, wishing you and yours well, particularly at this time of year. Good luck turning over your bike inventory with a quick and financially beneficial result.

Oh boy, my size ....
It sounds like it is not an issue with health and/or finances and I hope that’s not the case. Many of us with nice collections will hit the point where limitations of space and use will make it more sensible to move them along.

Not really ready to talk about it, but it's not health, at least directly.
