Colnago Dream

Hi all,

Thinking of selling my much beloved Colnago Dream (56). Now I’m doing longer rides on it the realisation has hit that this really is too small for me.

The bike has been lovingly updated over time and has mechanical Ultegra groupset, Reynolds Attack Carbon Clinchers, Chris King headset, Colnago Carbon seatpost.

Interested in offers so please get in touch but lookin at above £1,000.

Picture with the car is all I’ve got at the moment but I’ll geab some better ones when it stops raining.

Doesn't look too small. Looks perfect actually.

GLWS!

Interested in wheelset.. if you ever end up splitting. GLWS!

I’d be considering a size smaller if I were you, not bigger.
Would be interested in a price for the frame if it ever is split up

Looks a pretty decent size for you actually

I’m 6’2 and it’s just not comfy on the Geo for Ling rides. Plus I’m after a Ti build with discs and Di2 so total change. This is the plan:

I wouldn't say it's too big, that's how Museeuw (186cm) used to set up his C40 , maybe try to fit a 130-140mm stem.
Traditional frames are so deceiving.
In case it still feels too small there's little you can do, wonderful machine nonetheless! GLWS!!

It may not be “too small” but it’s increasingly uncomfortable for me on longer rides. Shame as it’s a beautiful bike, time for an upgrade though.

Interest in frame forks headset & seatpost clamp if split

By modern standards its about right with compact frames everywhere. If you think about retro frames the trend (if I'm not mistaken) was to have a larger frame and shorter seatpost. You only have to look at the length of a Campag Record seatpost from that era overall length 195mm, by the time you've followed the minimum insertion you have about an inch and a half before you hit the aero profile. Longer stem, layback post? Good luck with the sale though. Lovely bike.

Bargain for someone.

Size is not the reason for the sale at all, except if the OH frequents this forum, then it is...
