For Sale: Colnago Super 1979 57cm

I'm selling my amazing colnago super from 1979. it has full nuovo record groupset, 6 speed close ratio rear casette, campag record hubs laced to gp4 sprints, cinelli bars and stem, campag aero seatpost, san marco corsa saddle, chrome lugs, chrome front fork.

it's a thing of beauty in a 57cm. there are some scratches to the paintwork, and some touchups here and there, some slight pitting on the chromework. original except seatpost which i swapped out because the other one was shit.

pictures can be found here:

and yes, i have switched the gear levers around and trimmed the brake cables and moved the rear cable housing around the outside of the rear triangle. and no, i haven't had it long. and yes, it's a bit small and i don't ride it enough.

£600.

(offers)

How come?

see edit.

also, see bank balance for this month.

And so it goes...

also see - currently up to 6 bicycles, time to cut back so i can get fearsome track iron to ride the banks at newport.

the wanderer returns.

I weep, it's too big for me. Hope you're well, and pleased to hear from you.

i'm just glad you're alive paul. the pictures were terrifying.

wotcher pj, sadness about the colnago…

Lovely bicycle, shame you have to sell it.

i started a tour thread. it got lost in the fixiefixie melee

Back to the original post- would this make a great first fixie if I ground off all the gear/brake mountings, went brakeless at once, and got rid of the horrid -not to say gay- gears?

only if you whacked on a micro adjust seatpost and fizik saddle.

Definitely needs cut down risers or dildo bar.

Ooh ooh - pursuit bars.

cue dale........ telling you to split it ! you'll get more for it

Ohhh. fixing this would be the equivalent firebombing Battersea dogs just after they'd taken delivery of 101 dalmatians.

Lime green Velocity™'s ?

what a bike its gorgeous

Check out the Tommasini...

hmm this fits me and is delicious... damn it.

pj - they are clamouring to speak to you about this over on the dark side....
