Early Colnago Master
55cm Top tube (centre to centre)
55cm Seat tube (centre to centre)
Shimano 105 7 speed throughout.
Downtube shifters
Mavic MA40 rims (stainless eyelets)
3T Handlebar
generic black quill stem (120mm in length)
Gilco tubing top tube and seat tube, chainstays also.
Colngo 'Brev Colnago with club cutout BB', Campagnolo rear drop outs.
Front fork is cuved and has Colnago stamped on the drop outs.
Correct rear cable braze on's and head tub lug shaping.
Unusually no other Colnago markings, and the frame has been repainted (quite nicely) which I think is a shop. Its identical other than the lack of some markings as my old red 1983 master.
Sadly it has some damaged to the non drive side rear stay, looks like its had something drop on it. Structurally sound, rides just fine and the wheel tracks true. Some age related marks on the frame as you would expect.
Wheels are solid but would benefit from a service and true.
Seat post is Cannondale crap that has been cut down to fit (Gilco tubes are not round).
Iscaselle Tornado saddle (later edition), signed in 1989 by Malcolm Elliot.
A brand new pack of Colnago black cork bar tape is included in the sale.
Useable but rubbish tyres, Continental rear and Michelin Front, both showing signs of age but holding 110psi just fine.
Look pedals are included (also have some smart retro size 8 Sidi shoes with cleats knocking around and can be had for an extra £25).
£425 now dropped to £395 delivered

I'm out of town in the suburbs but may be able to help with collection drop off.
