Jan's a clever guy. If the bike was a Colnago, he would know. It'd be in his interest to sell it as a Colnago. I'm sure he'd check that out first.
The bike came to Jan as a Bianchi.
According to Jonaent, a conversation was had in store about it not being a real one. The dropouts were changed and the bike labeled as a Bianchi anyway.
That's were the only problem is. Should he have done so?
It wasn't an original track pursuit frame. Should he state that when selling it?
I don't doubt it's a decent frame. Many classic Italian frames featured the club cutout from the lugs. It just seems dishonest for a bike shop to be labeling bikes incorrectly.
Had Jonaent not posted his evidence, would anyone have questioned the origins?
It's a nice bike, though £650 seems a tad expensive.
You can understand why people here get frustrated and angry by such stories whether they shop there or not.
