Daaamn that Colnago is nice

Thank you ! :)

one was on the market a while ago, with the ics , did your Granfather have Swiss links?

Which market are you referring to? I'm not certain if it was this particular bike or another, or if someone stole the pictures. I just put the bike up for sale a few moments ago on the classifieds.

My grandfather was Swiss and the Eddy Merckx and Colnago were purchased here in Zurich, Switzerland, home of ICS (that explains the shifters on the Eddy Merckx) and Toni Rominger, who had Swiss roots and is still a legend in this country (that explains the Colnago) :)

there was one on ebay a year or so ago and as far as i recall, i did not get the impression the sale was fraudulant
(edit)
there are quite a number of rominger technos images available, this purports to be from a prototype model

Ah, now I understand. I don't know if there were ever any "prototype" models around. It was just a limited run of 55 pieces produced. That's all I've been able to gather.

I can't access the link (?), but the description states that the bike is a 56 c-c. My grandfather's is a 51, much like the Eddy Merckx, so that auction was not mine :)

i can;t access the link i posted either, i got by searching colnago technos rominger , click the ebay sale and you will see it, some how does not work here

i think you have misread the gist of my posts and reached the assumption that by my stating there was another listed it was yours
as you have stated, there were 55 of those models made , and they come up on the market now and again ;)

Ah ... there are only 55 of these, as they are numbered, the one I have being 42.
I don't think you'll find another one of these around anytime soon again. Could just be a coincidence ;)

Lastly, how many of each frame size are there out there? 2-3 of each max. if frame sizes between, let's say, 48-65, were covered, but I'll write Colnago an e-mail to get more details :)

lol

but I'll write Colnago an e-mail to get more details :)

while your at it, can you ask how many and the range of sizes in these, a super cx and mapei gb monotubo?

Will do :)

thanks fella ;)

Boss video.

I have a Crescent Merckx too, nice to see another one!

No

that could be really quite something, when it's completed

Crappy photo sadly of this Empella Turbo CX

Are you against FS or this biek inparticular?
