reeeeeee.
it's matt crampton's custom nag rebuilt (iirc) in CP by someone on here...

edit: here's the link

Cramptons was a Makino i'm pretty sure

And his name was on a pretty big sticker on the top tube

See here

The Nag above is also an ex- Crampton frame complete with his name on the top tube .

#rep for the info!

EUR 5,632.68 - Ebay

expensive repaint, don't think Ernie signed frames in the late 70's,

crankset and post is late '80's early '90's , so not a period build

'Tis all Nos according to the seller !

Much prefer Record equipped Pistas but this one is super nice

may well be nos, then is a custom re paint, not period correct

was sent these images for an appraisal...

circa '83 Oval CX, purported to be the first ever, built by Ernies own had for a North American show, no serial no, clear laqured steel, other blue/red Oval CX's had a chromovelato type finish



no indication of price was given, some more common Oval CX's seen on the market recently have had 5 figure price tags

seatpost looks very slender, dia?

is very slender mate, poss 25mm

If that's based on the last picture I think you can just make out that half of it is yellow reflecting the yellow wall?

if provenance true and physical, poss mad money

gauche right, abnormally slender compared to 27.2 colnago standard, my carbitubo mono is approx 26mm

20 mm diameter, fuck that's tiny! reference > http://www.oliverbaron.com/colnago_oval_cx.html

trick of the light, my arse

seatpost thinner than stem >>>>>>>>

seatpost thinner than seat tube is not unusual, plenty fixeh contraptions haz

ftfy

I agree with this as well, but I was talking about the fact that a seatpost thinner than the stem's quill is visually odd ;)

Was talking about the last picture.

And I agree with beso. It just looks rather odd. Also how it is off from the centre of the seat tube (by design - I know) bugs me.

same as then ?
