How much my fixed is worth?
Hey Guys , maybe someone already know my fixed!
for you how much is worth?
Here the specs:
Frame: Italian Gipiemme frame (sadly i don't know the exact year)
Brake: Balilla
Wheels: Ambrosio
Hubs: Maybe barilla?
Handlebar: Ital Manubri (must be italian for sure)
Pedals: AAM-PED 91 + Fermapiede (Basically the new pedals are those)
Pump: Campagnolo
Saddle: Fizk Pavè (i have a restored leather saddle in brook's style but i don't like how it appears , and the white of the pavè saddle make his look more stylish and comfortable).
Crankset: Brand is called Omega but i don't know the model
Quick release: Campagnolo (removed from a khamshin's wheelset)
Stem: Ital Manubri
Chain: Atala Singlespeed
Brake pads: XLC 70mm
Handlebar Tape: Atala (thats is very old , and is pretty confy too!)
Bottlecage: no brand
Tyre: Byte
Kg: 11,3
I just need to find another seatpost , that no brand seatpost is ugly and seems it not fitting well. I was thinking to find something similar to the old campy supr record (damn i like how that seatp appears).
I know is not that superbike , but is my bike and the satisfaction to restore it was awsome.
i posted on this subforum becouse i have no idea where to post it, sorry in case i wrong section.

Well, you're not in the wrong section to ask value. It looks as though you did a very nice job of restoring it.
Close-up pictures of the area where the seat post enters the frame, the underside where the crank axle runs through and of the fork crown will help.
I think you are identifying your bike as a Gipiemme because of the stamped name in the dropouts (wheel axle slots)? Lots of makers use Gipemme dropouts.
Knowing the diameter of the seat post just above where it enters the frame will help us figure out what kind of tubing the frame's made of.
Without knowing more detail your bike is worth at least $100 USD, maybe more depending on what else we can find out about it.

The bicycle looks nicely configured.
I believe Gipiemme made dropouts, but perhaps also frames, so that doesn't tell you a lot.
One question would be whether there were any mods done to the frame. I can see a rear chainstay cable stop, but can't tell if it ever had a derailleur hanger, or whether it is intact. Other cable guides? Around bottom bracket?
Zip ties for the rear brake are cheap. There are cable guide clamps available (used on some older bikes).
Anyway, while fixies are popular, they take a beating on the used market. Your bike may be worth somewhere around $200 give or take a little. Probably worth more in parts than as a whole.

Thanks for the fast reply , (here an old tread when i made the first test).
You will not belive how many paints had the frame before i restored it , the conditions were awful.
Yea i named as Gipiemme becouse they axe slot , i know maybe the frame is not 100% gipiemme but i have no idea how to identify.
Tomorrow i'm going to find the caliber and i'll going to post the exactly measure of the seatpost's slot. If you have any advice to identify or to improve the looks feel free to tell me.
That is a good idea! thanks
At first i was going to fully restored, but the first paint came off very easily (that will be the last time i use cheap paint) and also some other parts become very rusty. I become mad becouse i wasted many hours to make them shiny so i decided to make a fixed.
the front and back derailleur was from huret brand.
Well , the price is the exactly i expected and for sure i'll keep it.

With a weight of 11.3kg (about 25 lbs), it's certainly no racing frame, and probably just a well-made 'gaspipe' frame, which would make it worth maybe $100 (in the US), or about 80 euro.
