Andrew Steer Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 What size is this bike's frame?Only thing I forgot to check... have asked Didi to check it. I would guess around 56cm/large
Slowbee Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 WOW! that must be worth a mint !! campy record dont come cheap !
Andrew Steer Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 WOW! that must be worth a mint !! campy record dont come cheap ! Yip, my suggestion to Didi was looking at possibly breaking it up... the frame might fetch a decent price on eBay, while the wheels and the groupset should be easy enough to sell here. Anyone willing to give some pricing idea's on the groupset and the wheels?
quintonb Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I have to be honest and say I'm not familiar with the bike, but of it originally came with the campag record groupset, then you would loose value splitting it up. As for its value and/or collectability it's hard to say. But I think if you speak to most campag specialists they will say that 10 speed groupset is probably one of the best campag have ever made. I think before she sells it a bit more research should be done. It's looks in very good condition. The right buyer and she should get a good price.
BLACKvoodoo Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 I would hate to see her get ripped off, or given bad advise
DJR Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Agree with Quinton that 10 speed Campy Record is one of the best groupsets ever made. If it was originally specced like that, then keep bike and groupset together.
Bianchisti Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 What size is it? And can we settle on a private now?
javadude Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 That bike is a beauty. Its got the rare first generation carbon crank(was prone to breaking, but that makes it even more rare).

I think before she sells it a bit more research should be done. It's looks in very good condition. The right buyer and she should get a good price. All the builds I found online were Dura Ace with Mavic wheels, and chatting with Didi, I got the impression they got the frame from a friend with BMW connections, and then chose the spec of build. I really don't think there is any link between frame and this specific spec, but would be happy to be proven wrong - it's always sad to split up a bike. (I have though looked a good fair bit into all this ) The mediocre stem and handle bar lend them self to this argument too. The other builds I saw also had a bmw headset cap, which this doesn't. It's some great kit as many have mentioned, but unless you are a BMW Williams nut, the frame offers really little in terms of performance etc and lets down the package. It was made by Falcon from what I read up and in terms of modern day performance and weight etc, this is in my view simply a frame for a collector... probably more Formula 1 than cycling too, considering there is no real pedigree in BMW bicycles. (I'm guessing here, but please advise if I'm incorrect) There was one build sold online for $3000, but there was another listing where the seller seemed to get no real interest at half that price. The right buyer really needs to be found, but that can take a lot of time etc that Didi might not be interested in. I will chat with Didi some more about her options - if anyone has any more input and some sensible views on the pricing etc for the package or the bike split up, please feel free to share At the end of the day I just want Didi to get the most out of this - making some collector happy too would be an added bonus!
Andrew Steer Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 What size is this bike's frame? Bike frame is 58cm...
An3 Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Bike frame is 58cm... Thank you Andrew - I hope it finds a good home.
Andrew Steer Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 So nobody with some more advice on a price for this?Price for a good condition full Campag Record groupset?The wheels?Frame alone? Would appreciate some help here
carverone Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I have a BMW Williams F1 road bicycle which belonged to my late husband. I believe it is too heavy for racing and would like to know if anybody might be interested. It is similar to the attached picture. And do not ask me to tell you about components etc - I'm a complete idiot when it comes to the techie bike bits. I just believe it is wasted in my house if there is someone out there that can appreciate it. I can send actual pictures to anybody that would like to see. Still for sale ?
