HISTORY
I am selling my entire bike
collection which comprises of 16 bikes, all luxury high end pieces, there are Colnagos,
Cervelo’s, Lemon’s, Specialized, with Carbon Titanium or Columbus steel frames
and some of the most expensive parts in the world, there are also some frames,
again Titanium and Colnago, Bianchi etc, some wheels Zipp 303’s, Campaganolo
Hyperion carbons etc, and then a few parts. I also have a NOS in the case
Dura Ace 25th Anniversary groupset. These are all that is left over
from my bike shop, I have kept them for years hanging around my furniture
workshop as pieces of art and to remember the good old days, my new warehouse
doesn’t have the same hanging space so these all need to go!

CONDITION PLEASE READ
All these bikes have sat unused
for some time, I only ever rode the Specialized Tarmac Pro personally, all
other pieces were bought solely for there collectability and rarity, each bike
has been fully deep cleaned from top to bottom, they have not been serviced and
have sat unused for years. As such they will require a service or check-up
before riding, they may need the odd tweak here or there, they may need new
break and gear cables, wheels truing and so on, any good bike shop can give
them a once over for a small fee
This bike has some light
patina marks here and there in the form of the odd tiny bit of cable rub or odd
chip
Please note all
measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or
specific measurements please ask
Any questions please feel
free to ask before you bid

CONDITION
Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the
description pertaining to the condition. Please also ask any
questions before you bid and not after, all of our items are sold as seen
and as listed
Royal House Antiques cannot be held liable for any independent
assumptions made regarding the items we sell, if you are unsure on any point,
please feel free to ask for clarity
Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating
will always have natural patina in the form of creasing and wear, we recommend
annual waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not
recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will
dry out and fade
IMPORT DUTY
Most countries charge some kind of import duty however almost all of our
items won’t incur any charges as the items are exempt from tax due to the age
and materials used
For European deliveries the price you will be quoted will include all
clearance documentation and any customs charges so there won’t be any
additional fees
For international deliveries such as the United States there can be some
import duty to pay and or a clearance fee, I would estimate that 99% of all
deliveries clear customs without being stopped for either
All duties are the responsibility of the purchaser who is the importer,
they can’t be covered by the seller or shipping agent or factored in with
additional retrospective discounts
RETURNS
Royal House Antiques offers a no quibble return policy if the item is
not as described, if there are any issues with the piece you will be refunded
in full once the item has been returned and inspected within 14 days,
alternatively if there is a small issue, we can discuss finding a mutual
resolution that makes all parties happy
We don’t offer a sale on approval service which means you can purchase
the item, have it delivered and if you simply don’t like it, return it, this
comes under change of mind or doesn’t fit. There is a lot of time, money and
work involved in transporting goods around the world, the costs incurred can be
vast so my advice would be if you are unsure on a piece please ask as many
questions as you like to make sure you understand everything before you buy, if
you are still unsure then please either arrange a viewing in person or if
that’s not possible then don’t buy from an online retailer, perhaps look for a
local gallery instead
