For Sale: Colnago Master Olympic 54cm w/ Dura Ace

I'm selling my 54cm Colnago Master Olympic: its from early to mid 90s and is in excellent condition, I have two of these that are almost identical and this is the one that for a variety of reasons I have barely ridden since I bought it a few years ago. All the parts are original and its basically a full 8 speed dura ace groupset (indexed down shifters) but with an xtr headset. Seat post is dura ace but stem is itm as are the bars, still has original colnago bar tape and bar ends, the the brakes have little colnago 35th anniversary logos lasered (something like that) on them. Rims are ambrosio tubular and are colnago stickered. The paint is more or less perfect on this thing, it was recently serviced and has never been ridden in the rain. You all know its extremely light and stiff etc (columbus gilco tubes). This is a really great bike, beautiful italian paint job and detailing (chromed drop outs, stays, chromed straight blade fork all the pantographing etc.) Let me know if you'd like to see more pictures or come have a look at it (I'm in Brockley). I'm asking £730.

Thanks

Hipster ;)

I like it.
However:
It's too small for me.
It's Shimano, on a Colnago, FFS...
It's got tubs. Been there, done that. Walked home.
Needs new bar-tape.
It's over-priced.
And for those reasons, I'm out.
Do like that frame though...

shit 2cm too small, ideally i want to build my own up but would be very tempting if my size.
good luck with it and don't sell it to none of those conversion types....

£600-650 is a reasonable offer, we're talking about Shimano on a bike that should have campagnolo

don't sell it to none of those conversion types....

Custom made FTW !
None of this OTP chainsaw rubbish

Why the hell would anybody want to convert this frame to single speed? It's a fucking ITALIAN RACE BIKE for really long lonely rides where you don't see anybody (ideally)... Its beauty is a complicated arrangement of rhythms not simplicity. You know if you want your Colnago built up with a groupset from the factory these days they'll only stick shimano on it... If people don't want tubs I could swap out the wheels for shimano600 clinchers which are on my other bike. Over priced? Make me an offer I really need some money for a new fork paint job and wheels for another bike...

Fair point, but why post it here if you feel so strongly that conversion would be wrong?
Just asking...

C.O.N.V.E.R.T........I must C.O.N.V.E.R.T.

It's a fucking ITALIAN RACE BIKE

If it also offers blow jobs I'll take it.
Might eventually convert it to a Thai Ladyboy though.
