Hallo, I having the oportunity to buy this vintage TT bike:
http://www.willhaben.at/iad/viewimage?adId=23986787
parts:
full Dure-Ace, Spengle carbon 28" rearwheel, front wheel Spinergy 26 Zoll, 3 T Lenker
hm, what do you think is this TT bike worth??
think this special C4 frame is very rare?
is anyone experienced with that kind of frame?
THX for requests.
kind regards
I’ve no idea what it is worth but think how sweet it would look with a full 3T team setup (with the red stripes)
yessss
.
They did a similar frame called the Joker around 2001/2002. The manufacturer was NJC in Italy. I think the one shown is a little later than that and appears to be quite a large size. They are not a one-off custom but there are not that many around. I guess ideal for tri’s with the ‘anything goes’ (within reason) approach to bikes. You may be looking to upgrade the kit on it if you want to race it though.
Difficult to price but I guess it is one of those oddities that is worth as much as the buyer wants to go for and the seller will take as there is little to benchmark it against. Sorry nothing more practical on the value.
If you get it and do any work on it, be sure to post some pics.
hallo WappidWojj,
THX for request
… just find some informations about the “C4 Bianci project”
the bike for sale: is from a former professional biker, and its in very good condition.
frame size is 56, so its a good size.
seller sayy that he cant find any information about the frame, there is just written c4, so I think its a simmilar one to the “C4 bianchi”
he also wrote that the seat post angele is adjustable, what ever thats mean.
1400 euro is a lott, wheels and handlebar are ok, but as you said bevore, an update would not be a band idea.
so if I will buy it, i will post some updated pics, thats for sure.
so,
kind regards
I took one for a ride years ago. The BB was like a noodle and I am pretty sure that it does not have 130mm spacing - this would be indicated by the 8sp DuraAce rear Der of early vintage. It was no light weight either. I would pay $500 or so for it - not much more.
130mm was introduced with 8 spd. If it is 8 spd, it is 130 (or they simply spread the stays and jammed the wheel in…definitely possible)
Like I said, I am pretty sure that the bike will not have 130mm spacing…neither did the original Zipp 2001.
Hi,
meassured: spacing = 130 mm

from my point of view, BB isnt a NOODLE
so I am realy happy with that bike.
kind regards
