Miele used to sponser the Giro d'Italia the second biggest tour and I know they had some great bikes. Racing bikes like this are a real speciality and an acquired taste. It may be worth something or nothing at all. Most people who have these bikes either use them or end up using them as a fancy ornament at home. The bike maybe fast, but then you need the strength and fitness to exploit that.
