I'm looking to buy a colnago - I recently sold my cheap racer and am doing a lot of cycling now. Can anyone tell me if this is a definite fake? I have to go up to leicester on Sunday so it would be perfect but I'm not very confident about what to look for. I'm just a bit suspicious as the price seems so cheap. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Very doubtful it's a fake. If anything the price could perhaps be cheaper considering it's a 6 year old bike at the least, £3000 or not that's a lot of potential use. http://road.cc/content/review/3819-colnago-clx-centaur

Okay thanks. No I know it's an oldie and high mileage but just thought that with the expensive upgraded wheels she seems very cheap overally.

Wheels could be finished. Check the surface on the front. They are stupid expensive to refurbish to the point where you just bin them when they are done.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
