A fair price is ___?

I'd like to buy a mate's F+F: a blue white and lime colnago titanio 1996 used but in good condition. He wants 500 and expresses that hes doing me a favour. I feel this is ruining the friendship, or am I being unreasonable?

I'd say £wrong thread.

Hey, this isnt the F+F, the one I'm considering is with a double down tube

Even more of a bargain then...

Can everyone just be quiet till AndyP gets here.

:OOOOOOOOOO

can you find a similar looking one on google images?

Ruining the friendship?

FFS, either buy it at what he wants or don't, it's entirely up to you
or
wait for everyone on here to tell you they like it and then you buy it for mad e-propz

Like this?

why are all colnagos so fucking ugly? and why do i love them so much?

edit: holy fuck, double downtube, buy buy buy buy buy buy buy!!!!!!

Is everyone noting that its just for the frame and fork? and not a whole bike.

The bike in the pic is similar but the one in Q doesn't have round tubing, its squared and no lugs (its welded) and the cable guides are sidies

Tell him to ebay it, place a bid and if you win fine, if not your friendship stays true.

I think its a entry level commercial frame...it doesn't even have a pic of a rider's back on the top tube.

Found picture of the same frame

buy buy buy buy buy buy buy!!!!!!

What size is it?

Dibs.

BTW, it's a colnago, not a ridgeback. Less of the word "entry level"

Just looked at the photo.

I don't care if I'm too small. Dibs.

Why would you want that hideous paint job with the rider anyways? They put that on cheap alloy bikes as well, so I wouldn't take that as the ultimate mark of quality.

is this a wind up?

So, are you going to buy it or not?

Fuck, I'll give you my orbea frame and forks for it.

That's not welded, that's fillet brazed. dilettante!

Jeepers! some touchy folks out there!
You should know that we are out here in Cape Town. ZAR6000 is a lot of cash for a used and ugly(cautiously phrased) F+F. We dont have such a collective of people into "classics". My mate's emmigrating to OZ, he could do me a bigger favor if he doen't want to take it along!!!! Thats all!! no wind ups intended!!! I know thats hes tighter than a shark's ar*e under water and that upsets me! and he knows I look after my bikes!!

dibs on what? it will cost you 110 pounds to get from here to London insured. Thats right!! Would you pay 610 pounds for F+F like this? come on get real! So why would I chip this amount here?? Thats how I see it. And by the way if someone doesn't cherish this as many of you would seem to, enough to take it with to OZ, then he can be nice to a good friend of something like 15yrs and treat that friend to a "something to remember me by". There I said it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't buy it, and instead spend the ZAR4000 on cosmetic surgery to remove that chip off your shoulder.

dude, if you have to ask this question you don't need a Colnago
