Looking to get a proper ride bike after years of mountain biking and commuting on fixies/singlespeeds. Looking for something complete, don't really have time/ability to build it. Would like disc brakes but not essential. Would love a beautiful steel frame but happy to consider options. Looking to spend between £500 and £1200.

Hey Ross. I have a really nice colgano in 63cm. I'm 6"3 and it's a good fit. The chap I bought it from was 6"5 so I'd say it's ideal for you. Steel frame, hand painted with fluted tubing. Let me know if you're interested and I can snap some pictures. Cheers!

Always, what model Colnago is it?

Wish I knew! Haven't been able to identify it actually. I sent some pics to a guy on here who deals them and he thought it could be an old prototype. (In fairness I need to take some more precise pictures to try and verify it, as the ones I took were a bit poor)

Scratch that, I believe it's a master.

Hey ross, ive just put my steel condor fratello up for sale.
See: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/321200/#comment14250532
Its a 61cm frame and has been perfect for me (also 6'4") its supremely comfortable!

I have a 60cm Dolan Prefissio with a full 105 5700 groupset on and fulcrum quattro wheels. Only looking for £400 as frame has been painted black and wheels could do with new bearings (but are straight).

A cheaper option at least :-)

I am about to put a 62cm Canyon Ultimate frameset up for sale, should be a decent fit as it was a touch big for me at 6'3".

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
