**Price drop/guide**Who wants the Colnago??

[Kernow_T]

I know you've been waiting for this....

Frame - C97 c.1994 57cm c-c Columbus Thron Super tubing, Precisa chrome forks Decor Design 10 Speed Record/Chorus groupset

New baby and likelihood of selling her means she's been out once since I owned her.

All negatives clearly displayed in pics (8&12) so you can see exactly what you're buying.
- small patch of paint (all silver) peeled from top tube - now covered in silver acrylic wrap
- few very small flecks of surface rust on chrome chain stay
- a few tiny bubbles (no broken paint etc) on downtube
Groupset: Superb condition early 2000s Chorus 10sp with Record brake-set 172.5 52/39 chainset, 12-28 campag cassette (groupset <750 miles use)
Beautifully smooth and true wheel set: Chorus hubs Mavic Open Pro Rims
Chorus headset, Cinelli quill stem and bars
Rolls Rino leather saddle (exc used condition) and brand new tape.

Had a once over by mechanic and everything beautifully sound and set up for the sunshine season.

Looking to bridge the gap between someone getting an incredible bike at a price they're really happy with plus me making a decent drink (well something towards the nappy fund) myself.

Asking price of £1000000 but
Serious significantly lower offers considered - haha

That is cycle porn, but much to big for me.

Such a shame about the paint, a lot of the value in these frames are in the original paint. Saying that if it was 2cm smaller I may of been tempted around the price you listed it on ebay for.

Yeah it is a shame - for some it's absolutely nothing but for others it's a real PITA and the modest price, I think, reflects this - pretty keen on eBay but naturally a fair bit keener deal to be had on here. I could touch it up (many have suggested this), maybe get it done professionally but much prefer to leave it exactly for what it is for it's next owner to decide whatever they wish - nothing sinister whatsoever so just a case of personal preference.

Too big

I'm sure the original post said he wanted a three figure sum beginning with a 7.....

Indeed but I don't wish to preclude anyone making a genuine honest offer ,which they deem appropriate, made in good faith regardless of amount (especially extremely high ones!)

 

[DCLane]

Very pretty. Too big.

That's my kind of bike is that, and my size.

I wish I was rich.

*sigh*

Is selling your new baby even legal? And doesn't she need to get out every now and again? Honestly, people these days!

That's so often the case with porn.
