thats a bargain

It's not bad. The chrome just has a bit of surface rust and should be perfect underneath. Looks like one side of the BB may be cross threaded though. No deep rust anywhere on the frame, just scratches. It's Colombus tubing but doesn't seem especially light.

thats a great colnago frame if i owned it theres no way i would let it go, dclane if you can get this you are a very lucky cyclist and i look forward to the outcome of the peugeot/colnago saga.

Go on - tempt me with a courier quote included. If I don't have it then I'm sure someone else will.

Final update: it's been stripped this morning. All the parts came off fine with the exception of the seatpost (stuck), RH crank (thread stripped) and rear brake (utterly seized and I bent an allen key trying to remove it). The frame isn't holed but badly rusted and I don't trust it.

So ... I've a LH crank (!), 9 speed Campag Mirage shifters and F/R derailleurs, bars, front unnamed brake plus a pair of Mavic MA3 wheels with new-ish tyres and a 9-speed Campag cassette. Wheels need re-greasing and new skewers but otherwise are basically OK. All for £30. Now what to do with them ...

If anyone does want the frame please ask.

you can still remove the chain wheels from the crank and the peugeot badge if you are to scrap the frame even consider keeping the forks then its just a mater of ebay for a reasonable frame, take your time as you dont have a lot of room with all your other bikes.

I may be tempted by the frame just need to check my diary as I think I'm up north in a couple of weekends time

 

[Tony Raynor]

Also what size was the LH crank as I have a 172.5 RH crank (think it's chorus).

 

[Tony Raynor]

Oh and a 90s 170 chorus RH crank

 

[DCLane]

@Tony Raynor - the crank is a Miche and is 170mm. If you're up north let me know and I'll keep it for you.

 

[DCLane]

The frame's gone to Tony Raynor, who I hope can make use of it.

 

[Tony Raynor]

Thanks @DCLane I've just had a quick wire brush around some places and think it will be salvageable.
Can also confirm it's the CP10 version of the performance from around 1999.
I'm looking forward to getting this stripped and maybe an acid rinse so I can check if the rust goes in.

 

[DCLane]

Thanks @Tony Raynor - hope it all comes apart and gets turned into something nice.

I now have to explain to my club-mate where his old bike's gone and why I'm left with a pile of pieces

 

[mikeymustard]

lol at least you have the grace to be embarrassed about it - and they'll go towards rebuilding something else

 

[Tony Raynor]

I'm sure he'd be happy that it will hopefully get a new lease of life.
