Massive vintage bike collection auction this weekend

Tried searching for this here in case it's already been mentioned, but just in case...

Sotheby's have organised a massive auction (in Italy) of classic cars, motorbikes, boats and hundreds of vintage bikes...

More info here:

and the lots here, scroll through the vintage signage then the bikes are listed:

Happy hunting!

Whoa!

Just remember:

Bidders' Conditions of Business
1.10
Purchase Price: the Hammer Price together with the Buyer’s Premium and any VAT thereon, Expenses, and any additional charges due.

(Buyer's premium appears to be 17% of hammer price plus VAT...)

this is so good. the cars also are magnificent. apparently a good investment object too, alas i dont have a couple of hundred grand to invest in cars..

Some of the prices on there are insane - 4 what looks like mint condition Colnagos with a prediction of $500-€1000, don't know if it's dodgy or if the people running it don't know the actual value.

There are some beauties. But so much this^

I love that fire service bike too!

Damn there's some awesome stuff in there!

Hah yeah there's some nice stuff here.

€250 - €500 anyone?

100 Euro registration fee to bid... ergh so much temptation though

Dat nago track

WANT.

Told you.

Now where can I get an axe mount for my Brooks?

Flat front tyre.

One is a super pista

Lovely stuff. That fireman's bike is amazing.

Interesting that there's no 'bikes' option under the filters (the cars are clearly the main show), and some of the descriptions are a bit off, e.g. 'three vintage road bicycles' here, one with brakless and slack chain installed:

would like to see what the lots yielded

Results are up

The Fire Service bike went for 10.5k, but others seem to have gone for reasonable money.
