For Sale: Conti Lo-Pro

For sale - curvy Conti Lo Pro with amazing paintjob

From what I can find online, Conti were made by the Ciocc factory and although there is no sticker on the frame, the previous owner though that it was probably Columbus tubing, as it was used in the majority of high-end Ciocc frames.

I'll put more pics up tonight - the stem and seatpost have both been moved down and the risers swapped out to Nittos with a much smaller rise

The paintjob is amazing pearlescent white with pink and gorgeous baby blue™ - haven't seen another bike like it, especially the darts on the top tube. Some chips to the paint from general use, but the overall effect is still stunning.

Some lovely touches - Conti panto'd on the BB shell and form crowns, a Conti C on the brake bridge and an Italian glag embossed onto the side of the TT

It's got vertical drops outs but has got a White Industries ENO rear hub so chain tension is full adjustable

If you decide to split at any point, i'll take the wheelset.

would prefer to sell complete, but that's cool - dibbed for you

Ah ya fack..2nds on wheeset if possible please

dibs on seatpost if you split...

Unless that is an exceptionally long Supertype, you run the risk of destroying your frame with the post that high.

Yep it's been moved down, i never rode it like that, I just couldn't wait to take a picture when I had put all the bits on.,.

On Dutch Cheese's recommendation, I had the inside of the seat tube reamed to ensure that the seatpost could be inserted further into the frame

Groovy.

what size is the supertype seatpost? I'm trying to find a silver 26.8 which is being sold in england

Out of interest how tall are you?

The dimensions of the bike sound huge.

Lovely frame-set.. to bad it has been build up as a fixie..

If you're splitting I'll take the clown suit .........

Beautiful build and definitely worth the price.

bit petty but id like the pedals if you split

yep, the frame is lovely, have had loads of compliments on it.. I left the braze-ons and wire guides etc intact incase anyone wanted to rescusitate the puppies

Lovely seatstays. They don't meet and wishingbone do they?

if splited, bids in the frame, please

the seat stays don't wishbone, they curve up and to vertical and then are almost fluted (not sure that's the right word..) into the seat tube..

Rik, that's cool - frame is dibsed for you if no-one takes the bike complete

the building in the back ground is great where is it?

nice bike also

it's on the regents canal, opposite mile end park..

The building is part of St Mary's uni - it's a halls of residence and there's another, similar building behind it:
