Colnago c40 Road Bike Bicycle Campagnolo Athena Carbon Brooks Thomson 53cm

Trying this here again. It’s just had a rebuild with a carbon campagnolo groupset. Currently not being ridden due to injury and taking up space in the spare room, so back up for sale for someone to enjoy it 😊

Please read: the rear drop out non drive side has had a carbon repair and the front left rivet for the front gear derailleur is sticking out. I have been quoted by Carbon bike repair leather head for £80 to fix this but I do not have the time or means to go there. I have ridden it as is for over a year with no problems but you buy this bike having read this. See last pictures

53cm fits me well as is at 5’9

Frameset: C40 original carbon frameset with c40 colnago star carbon fork 1inch threadless. Frame is ridiculously light and in good condition considering its age with a few marks and scratches which are expected from usage. Has the name ‘Ludo De Witte’ on non drive side, possible original rider/owner?

As pointed out by @matthewn5 this could have belonged to: Ludo de Witte is a Belgian sociologist, famous for his work on the murder of Patrice Lumumba by Belgian colonial authorities. He's the right age to have had this bike... interesting.

Still keen on the frame (:

PM sent :)

I would consider splitting if the frameset goes first…

Without trying to sound like an ass, this is like the 6th thread for the same bike in as many months no? Perhaps the price just isn't right if it keeps bouncing from here to eBay and back for that long.
GLWS in any case, and here's a free bump.

Perhaps, I have dropped the price each time I’ve listed it. Initially I wanted a lot more as its a colnago frame with decent groupset and good parts. Yes it has the repair but I’ve ridden it fine for a while and the rivet hasn’t caused me any issues. I am not riding due to injury and this bike is sat in the cellar and I would rather it be ridden and put a smile on someone’s face :)

Thank you for the bump
