Any advice welcome. Thanks

Errr, the story about not liking the colour rings a few warning bells. Could be a crash repaired bike. I wouldn't personally.

 

[Nicensleazy]

Yeah.....I would agree, personally I don't like it when people start playing around with things!

I am a very suspicious e-bay buyer and I do not like the story. I do not think you would use wet and dry on carbon to remove a transfer - they usually come off with solvent. There would be scratches from the sand paper. It makes me suspicious and personally I would not bid.

 

[geopat]

Thanks both, I'll leave it.

This looks better and more genuine

What frame size are you after. There is a 2cm difference between those two bikes. Get the right size for you.

 

[geopat]

Probably between the 2 size wise. Currently have a 56cm though which is fine (6' 2")

There is quite a nice steel Colnago frame on ebay.....its used, but a nice item. I think its a 56

 

[Nicensleazy]

Just had a look, its smaller than I thought, anyhow, here it is......I'm tempted just to put it on the wall, I love these bikes!

Any scratch's wouldnt show once the laquer was put on. Standard procedure for anyone working in carbon, very rarely does anything come out of the mould not needing to be finished by hand.

It went for £827 - is that good?
