eBay and Craigslist finds


i saw their new website and wanted to cry... http://www.chesini.it/

'scuse my ignorance but what is the name of the paint (?) finish on the Chesini and how do they do it.

Thanks, G

Chromovelato maybe ?
Paint / transparent lacquer over chrome plating.

He has ruined this if it was a merckx i love the description.

Perfect for new merckx decals or colnago/pinarello/ciocc? Or maybe even an apple logo from the electronic company for a unique bike

Looks like he has rattle canned it and decided to paint the stem and headset while he was at it.

Why would you want a bloody apple logo on your bike? Amusing how some people try to target the hipsters!

Bargainous?

that is fucken awesome

These things are amazing. Especially early ones like this.

Unfortunately I'm not sure you can get pads for it's drum brakes. Otherwise a very practical retro-futuristic folder.

Hardly used pair of Royce hubs. Campy pattern. 5days left.

^ 102gbp, 8 bids, and 5 days to go - wow, what a bargain!..

bit cheap? fake? or just my lack of knowledge on old frames?

Definately not a fake - it's a Colnago Super mid 80's, Columbus tubes, just a standard italian road frame for club riders - they used to sell them at my LBS (Ridge Racing, Bournemouth) - nothing particularly special - £195 seems reasonable as it looks like the paints good, and it says colnago on it - further discourse on it's build quality can be found here - http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-383102.html

who the fuck brought those?

gentlemen who have a particular intrest in that kind of thing i believe. I asked my friend Joan, he informs me that 'scally' trousers are popular on ebay.
