    Ok thanks for your opinions! The frame doesn't mean too much to me. It's always a bugger to thread a cabel.. Also with modern carbon frames.. It took me 1 hour to get the second one through.

    Hey guys,

    I ride a Dolan pre cursa in the city. I was wondering if I could route the rear breaking cabel through the top tube? Will the material break or is it no big deal?

    Best,

    It never was original.. The team ordered the frame and got it raw from collage. There sponsor then decided about the color of the frame. they did a really bad job on the baint.. IMO. I would prefer the frame to have the original painting.. Due to thats not possible for a reasonable price I think I will polish the luges and give the frame the branding with the decals..
    I actually just bought it because I got a good deal on it. IMO. And I think it is fun to have something to play with.

    http://www.carmaxx.ch this was the sponsor…. I think this is the most discussing emblem ever.. But I get your point. I took of the paint of the luges because under the color they are chrome. So I will polish them and every thing will be shining as new.. The color under the sticker is really damaged.. My fault but it is.

    here are the lugs and the fucked up paint on the top tube.. I think that wasn't the right decision.

    Hi guys,

    I bought a Master Pista Olympic which has been ridden by a junior team in Zürich. Due to that the color is blue and white.
    I bought the frame with a Campagnolo headset and a seat post and a cockpit. I also bought the fork, but the guy who sold it to me gave me the worn one. Road and too short. I am now searching for a Colnago Pista fork and will try to restore the frame. I would be happy to get some advice! It's my first one.
    Here you can see a picture of the Frame set like I bought it.
    Until now I have polished the Seatpost and the headset. I have also tried to cut out the logo of the sponsor and took of the paint of the lugs with a raiser blade. Now I have to repaint the part on the top tube and buy some decals.
    I thought of these: http://cyclomondo.net/page5.htm Do you have any experience with these?
    Would you repaint the howl frame? I also want to buy some track shamal and a camp group. I am not to hellbent on my plan. So let me now about your opinions.

    cheers and thank you!!

    Yes this rally sucks.. But I can't really get back to him. I payed cash! It's also my fault. On the pictures he sent me the original fork was insert. But when I got there I was so stocked about the price I got and the frame that I left without rally checking every thing.. I talked to that guy and we had a good time so I really didn't expect to be deceived.
    I saw that ebay deal. But don't you guys think it is a bit to pricy?
    Thank you for your offer!
