Colnago advertised in Dudley, West Midlands for £60 :eek:
https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/men-s-road-bike/1190808360

It much be too good to be true................

It looks like a 1980's Colnago Mexico, but I have limited knowledge of Italian machines.

Looking at the forks, it's probably a fake Colnago, but still worth £60.................

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
Right. No more bikes. Decided. So why am I looking and found these two with a start price of £30 for both? :wacko:

What the heck are they? This is the logo on the black one which appears to show "The Challenge Cycle & Motor Co Ltd" which I'm led to believe was in Coventry:

The link is for a Retrobike thread but shows the Victor sest stays nicely, the frame in the eBay add does not have the proper sloping fork crown so the forks are not original....shame really. Getting it to look right would be a bit of a chore with the kit that's on it as well.

Exceptional bike, £120.
Southampton, Hampshire, recycle workshop.

Early 90's,Terry Dolan, before he sold the Cougar company name?

Size, I guess 23inch top tube c-t?

I don't think they know how good this bike is, but still too long a drive for me.

Very nice - love the slightly dodgy paint design! Shame, it's just the right size for be but S'hampton is still too far and I'm 100 miles closer than you!
