  • doesn't seem unreasonable actually. Since its now 3 days left and at about £250 already, reckon he might get more...

    Well, i guess it's OK... just too much for me.

  • meh, just doing my house mate a favour. It isn't actually crap, Base used to make some pretty good stuff for the money. For 6p thats a hell of a bike. as you were.

  • I was offered to buy this before the owner put it on ebay, for a load more than that current bid... reckon it will sell for less.

    Are Colner's not like Colnagos in the fact they have pantographing/campagnolo drops/spade cut-out on BB-shell/lugs? Only Colner I've ever seen in the real had that but it was a road bike-would be interested in the info if you have any!

    Colner is the South American (based in Argentina), (sub)brand from Colnago (Ernesto Colnago), apparently created as a dedication to his daughter (am i talking shit here...?), anyway
    they obviously share the same background in frame building.

  • Something very cheap. A bit too cheap, could this be stolen,especially the green peugeot? http://www.gumtree.com/london/44/57311244.html

    HelloI'm not amember yet of the CR list, but hope to be soon. From time to
    time I read the emails sent into the lis and yesterday I found your requset
    about Colner frames. Today I also found a reply which was 90% correct. At
    some time during the early80s and the early 90s Ernesto Colnago marketed a
    "down-market" brand called Colner. I visited the company's stand at various
    Cologne and Milan exhibitions.. The idea was to have a subsidiary brand that
    could be produced in larger quantities and sold to a wider range of agents
    and retail shops, therby leaving the COLNAGO dealerships more exclusive. I
    started negotiations to import the frames into England but withdrew from the
    deal when I found out the quantities they required per month, the range of
    frames to be handled - all models, no choice involved! The final nail in the
    coffin was that irrevocable orders for the next twelve months had to be
    placed at the time of signing the contract. The frames were very attractive
    and no doubt very roadworthy but less elaborate than the Colnago Cx,
    Arabesques etc of that time. Colners could be compared with good brands such
    as Ciocc, Pinarellos. Olmos etc in their looks and buils quality - good
    Italian workhorses. From the front they were readily recognisable by their
    head transfer- a black Ace of Spades. As for the name Colner well, just
    think of it ERnesto COLNago.. There is no doubt whatsoever that the frames
    were bought in and not manufactured by Colnago. Firms like TechoTube,
    Romani, Simonsini often acted as large subcontractors. It is likely that the
    brand was phased out gradually as the main brand became probably the world's
    best known and sought after one. I might have a catalogue somewhere. Hope"

    Cheers for the info Joe-I'd heard a while back Colnago set up Colner to bypass rules about manufacturers sponsoring more than one race team, but not much else more specific-I thought the craftmanship would have been closer to that of Rauler's but from that morsel above seem to be a fair bit lower. Good to know! Ta

  • Looks like a 70s model so maybe both theories could be correct?
    Colner to sponsor 2 teams at the same time (made by Colnago)
    Colner to touch another market (made in South America)

    Just an idea

  • ^^ check the sellers name. reflected in his feedback?
