* historic racing and lightweight bikes should always be assessed individually like standard on historic racing cars and -motorbikes. Original racing bikes vary in frame sizes and in the quality of the equipment. Manufacturers supplied frames in various qualities (weight / workmanship) and offered these to their dealers to build. Bicycles of demonstrably prominent ownership achieve a premium. Correspondingly large is the variety of almost identical bikes and thus a discrepancy in value.

** Bicycles are offered in all conceivable conditions: from scrap metal through negligent workmanship or quick pimping for profit to high professional work-up. An original condition is more appreciated than a restoration. If you have concerns about buying or selling, the assessment by an expert is recommended.
