this is the third of four really nice frames i'll be listing in the next few days, i bought this from the man himself who's still alive, about 82 and still makes frames.
I've been collecting parts for the last 15 years and i've come to a total of about 27 frames, it's now time to get rid of some of them tho as in about 6 months i'll be relocating to italy to learn framebuilding and to enjoy the sun.

some specs
the frame if from 1991 according to the man's logs, columbus genius and very light at 2.37kg, 53cm seat tube ctc and 53cm top tube ctc, 130mm rear spacing, it takes 27.2 seatpost and italian bottom bracket.
very classic racing geometry, 98cm wheelbase and internal cable routing.
The frame is mint, well actually a couple of tiny chips from 30 years in storage but over all fantastic, paintwork by carlo dossena (again still alive and still working), great pearl-y finish and loads of chrome showing.
This one has to go for the nearest to £550 (650 euros) as possible which is just about what i have paid myself, i know it might sound a bit steep but this is serious quality at colnago master level.
Dibs and PM please and obviously you are the most welcome to drop by and have a look at it in the flash
pick up from north-ish london (seven sisters/tottenham) but i can post at cost if required.
if postage is required i prefer bank transfers or if you must use paypal please add 4%
cheers
