For Sale: A Colnago from my own stable

Posted on
  • Circa '91-92
    Colnago Super Pui
    56.5cm c-t
    53.5cm top tube
    Dura Ace 7400 Aero seat post
    Dura Ace 7400 Headset, nos when fitted
    Dura Ace 7700 gears, brakes, drive and hubs
    Mavic CXP 33 rims
    Rolls saddle
    Colnago Bar tape
    I am selling it as it is too small for me.
    Rides absolutely faultlessly.
    I had initially thought that it was a Spiral Conic, and is decaled so,
    but I am more drawn towards it being a super pui.
    Originally had DA7401 group, but right shifter was gone, so I upgraded
    to 7700, like my Lux Dream, which had 7700 as team issue.
    I find the 7700 group less noisy than the 7800
    The paint scheme is a marbled black, which haa turned to black in a couple of places.
    It's not cheap in these times of austerity I'm afraid, but (in my opinion), the price is fair.

    cheers

  • the top tube looks longer than the seat tube in the picture - is it really a 53.5 top tube?

  • yes, 53.5
    I've found there is normally 2cm dif between c-t and tt measurements with steel colnagos,
    as I said, I'm only selling as after long rides I get a sore base of spine, if the tt was longer, I'd keep it

  • an aside
    if it is a super pui -columbus sl
    if spiral conic-slx
    in some quarters, sl is more revered than slx as it is lighter

    (i read somewhere)

  • an aside.2

    I initially thought it was spiral when I saw these pics
    http://gs78.photobucket.com/groups/j100/8NX4RIIB2E/
    same lugging detail, non-crimped down tube
    other images I've seen of spirals have a 'spiral conic' decal on the top tube, and of course,
    the much heralded
    wait for it
    4 crimped down tube

    got of a staunch Gentleman of 70 years young, who told me he got of a buckler team member, was raced, and he was only parting with it as he'd decided he wanted to ride upright henceforth
    Bottle cage bolt head had sheared orf so had it withdrawn
