^ I only want one bike out of all that - and it isn't one of the Colnagos
Speaking of, did anyone notice the Colnago Nuovo Mexico with Campy 50th Anniversary?

They're too small for me, but put me in for three or four groups with wheelsets please. I didn't have a lot of Italian stuff, but at full bore my garage was pretty similar. If I had that much space, who knows how scary i could have gotten.,,,,BD

How many bikes do we think? What do you think market value would be if sold individually? If parted out?

I'd need an exact list of what's there, with multiple photos of each bike before shelling out money like that. That's a lot of money not to know exactly what you're getting, and you have to figure that if you're buying in this kind of bulk, you'd expect to pay under (well under) the value of the bikes individually.
I think we're looking at around 50 bikes...meaning at 40,000 euros, or $53,000 USD, he's asking around a grand per bike. In this kind of bulk, with the storage and shipping requirements, I think you'd have to double your money to really make it worthwhile...meaning for this to work, you'd have to be able to determine that the bikes are worth an AVERAGE of 2 grand each. That seems like a stretch to me.

For me the biggest problem is logistics. I would also like a better pictorial list, that DeRosa is to many here a known qty. The question is what other treasures just were too shy to photograph? This collection is interesting otherwise as the size range is all over the place. This was a collection, not a set of bikes for one individual to own and ride.
The advantage and or disadvantage of my humble set is that all are set up for me, less the few for the spouse.

Keep in mind you'd also have to sell them slowly so as not to shock the market, not to mention how time consuming it would be to pack this many bikes at once. You're going to be sitting on a LOT of bikes for a bit, and that likely means storage facility, which costs more money.
I don't know how many there are...but you'd need a LARGE spread to make this worthwhile.
