"Hi
May I ask for some advice please.
Years ago I contacted Ray Dobbins about a bike I was somewhat interested in selling. It's a Colnago Mexico with Gilco/Columbus tubing,fully pantographed with chromed chainstays,seat stays and fork-Supert Record. It was somewhat gifted to my by Mr Colnago at his workshop and assembled by his brother while I watched. Dobbins said this was a bike he 'gifted' to "Beautifull People". It is the one famously pictured being given by colnago to the Pope.
I,unfortunately gave away the tubular Ambrosio's and replaced with the great MA50's-the clincher version of the SSC's.
I am now more seriously considering selling this bike and inquire if there is a more proper way to do that other than ebay? I saw a similar bike on ebay,but am not sure,for around $5,000. That one was pristine condition,mine is not.
Thanks "
sounds like something special, I await pictures!
