Beautiful bikes and very reasonable priced. The ATALA and the blue Schwinn are a steal! I would also buy the Lotus in an instant if I were even remotely close.. Good luck selling!
The Viscount is tempting. I had one in college that was cursed. It was stolen (borrowed) by someone going home, probably after a night of drinking. I reported it, but the culprit returned it with a note admonishing me to lock it. Fast forward to after college, I upgraded it with a Shimano 600 group and wheels from Lickton's. Had it a week or two when it was stolen, this time gone forever.

These are bona fide excellent buys. If I were only shorter I’d buy the PX10. Hoping to see your Raleigh Pro for sale. Great video and work to keep these great bikes so well kept.
one of my favorite looking bikes of the 80s was the Vitus/Mavic gruppo-Modolo brakeset (charcoal calipers+levers) as used by Sean Kelly's Skil team and the Luis Herrera's CafedeColumbia team. Or the Carbon Alan/Mavic-Modolo combo used by the Spanish Teka team. Those charcoal calipers/levers/white brake hoods stood out on those brushed alumnimum framesets.
Very nice bike collection👍Really liked the Alez and the Sirrus but I already have too many road bike projects on my plate . I hope that the bikes for ales will find buyers who truely appreciate and enjoy them
Nice video and suggest a corresponding list of the bikes and prices. For sure, shipping is a PIA and lots of work to carefully pack and expensive. Also lots of work to detail sales with maker, model, dates and bits but really necessary to attact potential buyers. Ofcourse with the video and local buyers, they can personally inspect the build and bits but they need to watch the video to see what your selling. Good luck with the sales!

Totally understand having to sell some to get some. I just purchased a beautiful Romani Storck Special in Columbus SL tubing. I had to sell my 86 Vitus and a 96 Giant MTB so I could buy this one. Keep us updated please on the new build!!!!
I have that exact Lavender/Lilac Lotus. Just picked it up a few days ago for a full resto myself. John you mentioned briefly, "there's no guarantee of future high income" which is a realistic mindset to have. Like you said in the video of the collection you revently picked up "its all just stuff".

Anyway, Hoping they all go to a good home & most importantly, ridden! 👍 *Btw folks, this is the difference between a hoarder & an actual collector.
John, Wow! What a beautiful collection you are selling. Someday if you get an itching to sell any of your components I interested in campagnolo delta brakes hopefully with 5 pivots. They would make a great addition to my Pinarello Super Record or my Alan.
@@chrismoore-keish7476 Im not sure if I'm the best person to ask. I have the one bike that has them and I haven't ridden it. Its truly NOS. I set up 3 or 4 sets when I worked in a shop in the 80s. I tested those bikes and I have to rely on my memory. If I recall they worked fine but I think I remember that they didn't modulate well. The customer would come back and ask us to make adjustments. I can't say I was well educated to improve the performance of the brakes. I'll be honest. I DONT Care how vintage stuff performs. I really don't. It's like when someone buys a 1957 Chevrolet BelAir and complains about how it handles! LOL. Sorry I'm not so helpful on your question.
John, actually you are really helpful. Neither of the bikes I have are intended to be wall hangers. I want to ride them and the Super Record brake calipers (aren't the best compared to the Shimano 105's on my Cannondale CAAD 10) have fair stopping power for a 40+ year old breaks. Keep making great video content and share your passion, it is infectious. Cheers, Chris
@chrismoore-keish7476 - No way! I have a Pinarello Treviso and Alan Super Record that i still ride as well. I have wondered about the Campagnolo brake replacement pads available today and if they are less effective if I could compare them to fresh pads from the 80s. But that would be impossible to do of course. I do recall as a teenager that the Campy brakes where great and i didn't question them. I have thought of trying compatible pads from Kool Stop to see if that would make a difference.
I bought the Specialized Allez when it first came out. I updated it with Cinelli bar and stem plus Mavic tubular wheels. The bike I lust for is the Schwinn Paramount OS on the wall in the team colors. I had a Waterford built Paramount OS with Dura Ace 8 speed and STI brifters. It was painted in the red,white and blue paint scheme. Still miss that bike ☹️
If only I lived near Chicago, had a bunch of extra money, and were taller! (At 5'4.5" I don't think they are my size) You have the most beautiful collection of bikes i have seen, good luck with selling! People are missing out if they pass this up.
I like the salmon colnago...really great...also the px 10, due to my fondness for old french stuff.. Great prices, l've noticed it's a buyer's market, IMHO, these days.. I've been hanging on and hoping for better prices..lol.. Good luck to you, very fair on every bike, many steals and deals offered. No doubt you will sell some bikes. Good luck John. Enjoy your trip, always a pleasure watching your vids.
Your prices sound more than reasonable based on what I see on Ebay and the vintage bikes to be had at one Maryland bike shop (which shall go nameless).
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage With your skills, you could sell all but your top 5 bikes, then just restore and sell vintage bikes. Get them back into good condition for riding. Looking forward to the Bock build.
The Atala is the Competizione model, which was the next model down from the Professional that year. I believe the frames of both models were essentially the same, right down to the geometry. The seat pin was originally just an aluminum tube with a standard saddle clamp, which is no doubt why the Laprade is on there. It's rare to see one this original. The three divots in the top of the saddle are due to the fact that it's essentially a plastic Unicanitor with a thin leather covering stretched over it. The plastic saddle has the three holes, and I've noticed them showing in the leather covering on every one of these saddles I've ever seen--even when they were brand new. I believe the original saddle would have been a full-leather model, and all the other Competiziones I have seen had Universal 61 centerpulls, but this was during the Bike Boom and substitutions were quite common. The shift levers are Valentinos, while the derailleurs are Nuovo Record, but the previous year the bike came with the Gran Tourismo boat anchor, so it's not surprising to see the mismatch.
I miss my old steel nishiki someone stold from a hospital, it was blue and white, it was fast. It was made in Japan. I took ot into a bike shop and the owner said when it was made it was about as good as you could get at the time
Those bikes are pretty. How big is the market for old bikes like that? I don't see bikes like that these days when I'm out on a ride. When one sees the current price for new road bikes, these do look like bargains and they have withstood the test of time. I'm curious as to how fast they will sell.
@@daniellarson3068 there is a collector market. It's actually a little soft right now. I think someone looking for a current road bike is considering any of these vintage bikes. They can pick up a used modern or semi-modern bicycle at a good price right now. Since I'm not willing to ship them, they will probably sell slowly
I have a CF Specialized Allez - _love_ that bike. We just got in from a 50 klick rip around the lumpy side of the county. It’s not light by any current standard, but if everything else you have is steel … Mine looks like a 58cm to me, it’s just a slight little bit smaller than my 23” LeTour. The ‘76 Colnago Super - any idea what bar tape that is? On my phone it looks like the mustard color that would match the graphics on the Allez. GLWS!
When you presented the Allez you said this was the first generation of the Allez than paused and said carbon. Were you referring to this Allez as the first or the first Allez out of carbon?The first Allez came out as a steel frame in 1981 and were made by 3Rensho. A friend of mine has the original and has owned it since new. His frame has some really nice detailing. The color is a sort of pearl pink which would complement that salmon colored Colnago that you are selling.
Unbelievable collection. Respectfully, would you consider $100-$300 to test ride a few of your bikes? I have a 1988 Schwinn Tempo but would love to find a chromoly 23”/58cm touring bike for more casual riding with my Dad.
Also, that’s AMAZING that you have an orange voyager. When I lived downtown (Chicago) that’s literally the fastest bike I’ve ever personally witnessed which was shocking because it’s obviously a touring bike. I caught up to the gentlemen at a red light and said “can we exchange numbers in case you ever sell your bike?” And he looked over and said with a huge smile “I’m never selling this bike” and then took off like a rocket lol
Hi John, I’m looking for a bike that will take me back 50 years. 54 cm, Colnago Super, or Masi GranCriterium. Do you have anything like that in the clear-out inventory? Looking at selling my ‘74 Paramount after I buy my time machine (The Colnago, or Masi).
I might have a couple of bikes that take you back. I am looking for a nice home for a black Colnago Super (around 1983 I think) and an Eddy Merckx Team Stuttgart bike (with number bracket) from a little later than that. Both around 54cm. I'm in Chicago . Let me know if interested.
Awesome bikes. I don’t have to tell you, but: most LBS’s will professionally box a bike to ship for like $100 tops - if you can’t sell them in the area, you may consider that…. Also, what is the top tube size on that pretty black Colnago single?…..you mentioned that it’s made in China … so just a replica then?
Colnago made several bikes in China. Most of their line is made there. The Super Single was one of them. So its purely Colnago in a sense that they had it built. Its not a tribute or replica.
Good to see you focusing on the bikes that you really like and letting the others go to new homes. I'm also a fan of getting a good custom frame that is exactly what you want! Getting it from someone who you know and whose work you are familiar with is a big plus!! Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.
You do limit yourself a lot by not shipping. I have sold a number of steel frames that went by UPS. They all arrived okay apart from one that looked like a car had run over it, damaged probably by stacking a ton of weight on top of it.
I've been trying to sell a 1985 Panasonic Sport (XXL) for best offer for over 2 months. Not as collectible as your bikes but entirely original and in great shape. No offers so far...Your prices seem fair, good luck...😎
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage 68cm. I bought it new. it was sold as a 27 inch frame(LX-727). The stand over height is 36.5 inches. I'm 6 foot 6 inches tall.
I had a friend who got doored in Madison on his. The head tube broke but the so called “death fork” was fine. As was the front wheel. The frame took the hit. Go figure.
@@billmaidment if you see the video I did on this bicycle, you'll see that the driller is reluctant to bring the chain to the smallest cog in the rear. The rear derailleur sits upright and the pulley is too far back. There is no adjustment on the triumph derailleur for that. However, there is an adjustment on the victory. The owner of this bicycle will get both derailles
Great Mark, Remember, im not shipping them. Email me with the address that you'll find at the top of my RUclips channel page. Then I'll forward you my phone number. Thanks
My uncle is a Prince in Zimbabwe and wants to transfer $50,000 in to your account. We just need all of your bank account info! 😂 JK, good luck with the sales!
That makes zero sense-No shipping - but Four hours of driving time - cost - time effort- doesn’t pencil out .. ( so it must be “ hands on , I’ll buy it … correct ???.. cash is easy- , to have no problems with people saying there’s a mark ???
@@reserva120 I'll only drive the 4 hours for the more expensive bikes. Selling bicycles are a hassle. I'm not in a hurry to sell them. I don't have to sell them. Slow and easy is better than fast and a pain in the butt LOL
Damn some great prices I must say! What do you think a "good" condition Lotus Super Pro Aero would go for these days? Such a rare bike it's hard to understand valuation of it.
Very, very hard to watch John. The camera moves around so fast, zooms in & out etc. that I can't focus in on anything before it's gone. Pity that I had to cut out at 5.45 as I would have liked to have seen it.
@@ThisTimeTheWorld Yeah I get it. Hard to relocate sometimes, although I fled the western Massachusetts mountains to leave the tyranny to move to NC. It wasn’t easy.
The Illinois economy is the 20th largest economy in the world. It's ranked 5th among states in the US. Those are no small potato numbers. Sure, taxes are high, but we get many benefits that citizens of low tax 😢states don't get. Overall, Chicago is a phenomenal economic engine. That's why the Chicago area is a great place to live.

I remember that! Heard about it, then saw one toasted at a crit race. Glad I was on my Cinelli. @@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage
I had a friend who got doored in Madison on his. The head tube broke but the so called “death fork” was fine. As was the front wheel. The frame took the hit. Go figure.
Ochsner has Campagnolo Triomphe. ❤Lotus but too big for me.
Thanks. Im putting a Victory rear der on it for better adjustability
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage I’d keep the group complete as is. Although the Victory can run a 30t if desired.
@@billmaidment if you see the video I did on this bicycle, you'll see that the driller is reluctant to bring the chain to the smallest cog in the rear. The rear derailleur sits upright and the pulley is too far back. There is no adjustment on the triumph derailleur for that. However, there is an adjustment on the victory. The owner of this bicycle will get both derailles
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage I saw that but I can’t explain why it does that.
I would like the Peugeot please! LMK next steps, thanks!
@@paulkramer8665 please email me at the address on the front of my RUclips channel. Thanks !
I'd like to buy one of your bikes but they all look too big for me.
Where do you get your wood wall mount bike racks?
@@jimbooth324 That's basic 1x3 oak
@@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage - so you make them yourself?
@@jimbooth324 Yes. They are pretty durable, however some of them cracked because the pilot holds for the screws were not big enough.
@JohnsVintageRoadBikeGarage thanks for your answer and tip.
Getting a devours are we?
??
Click bait - its a freak out. Thunderbird is Shimano. I sent a friend a text. I am seriously considering a number of you bikes
Great Mark, Remember, im not shipping them. Email me with the address that you'll find at the top of my RUclips channel page. Then I'll forward you my phone number. Thanks
All the best. Hope you make what you hope for and get a beautiful new bike. Thanks for your content.
Thanks for watching!
My uncle is a Prince in Zimbabwe and wants to transfer $50,000 in to your account. We just need all of your bank account info! 😂
JK, good luck with the sales!
LOL! Thats the second prince that wanted to buy all of them today!
Sorry, I like smaller frames.
Yup. All mine are pretty tall!
Try and pronounce his name like this! PAOLO GUERCIOTTI (SAY IT QUICKLY) GOO WHERE CHOTTY Understand? ;-)
Thank you for the "Click Bait" warning now I'll say good bye.
Good bye.
That makes zero sense-No shipping - but Four hours of driving time - cost - time effort- doesn’t pencil out .. ( so it must be “ hands on , I’ll buy it … correct ???.. cash is easy- , to have no problems with people saying there’s a mark ???
@@reserva120 I'll only drive the 4 hours for the more expensive bikes. Selling bicycles are a hassle. I'm not in a hurry to sell them. I don't have to sell them. Slow and easy is better than fast and a pain in the butt LOL
Damn some great prices I must say! What do you think a "good" condition Lotus Super Pro Aero would go for these days? Such a rare bike it's hard to understand valuation of it.
Very, very hard to watch John.
The camera moves around so fast, zooms in & out etc. that I can't focus in on anything before it's gone.
Pity that I had to cut out at 5.45 as I would have liked to have seen it.
What cut out at 5:45?
😲😲😲🫢🫢
Don't sell the salmon (rose) Colnago!
It was a tough decision. But I have to make room and get some doh for bikes that fit me!
What?!?!?!? Selling???
Just a few
Only thing I would ask is that you move as far away from Chicagoland as you can.
Why the hell would anyone want to live anywhere near Chicago??
Let me be clear. Illinois does suck. My town is nice but taxes suck
Some people just stay where they are born or known.
@@ThisTimeTheWorld Yeah I get it. Hard to relocate sometimes, although I fled the western Massachusetts mountains to leave the tyranny to move to NC.
It wasn’t easy.
The Illinois economy is the 20th largest economy in the world. It's ranked 5th among states in the US. Those are no small potato numbers. Sure, taxes are high, but we get many benefits that citizens of low tax 😢states don't get.
Overall, Chicago is a phenomenal economic engine. That's why the Chicago area is a great place to live.
Oh no, John selling these master pieces is terrible. You do not ship, who cares, as a matter of fact I don not care.
I'm selling some masterpieces to buy other masterpieces.
You're going through a difficult divorce?
@@ricgl84 lol.. if you watch the full video, you'll know why I'm selling some bikes
Jeez you make a nice video and get a comment like that. WTH.
"SOME".....................hahahahaaaaaa clickbait INDEED !!!!
