Can I have these please (dependant upon how I can collect)... PM on the way

It's a beautiful and interesting bike.

Interesting as it has quite a mix of periods of Campagnolo equipment vs the frame age

Frame must be late 80's / early 90s, whereas much of the Campag stuff is 70s.

The chainset is Nuovo Record (70's, early 80's)
The brake, I believe, are Athena (both calipers and levers) .. these are late 80's
and I believe the hubs are Record/Nuovo Record, as I don't believe Super Record existed when large flange hubs were made. (70's )

Shame it's not bigger as I'd love it.

Is that REALLY new? Are you sure its not new paint on an old frame? Photo's can be difficult to interpret, however the chrome does not look new in the photos.
Who would build a frame in Gara but not put their Moniker on it?

Sorry, sold it on ebay around a month ago... no interest shown on this forum.

Hi, I'm not clear on whether the bike / components you are selling is the one in the pictures, or the one in the description....

You say it has a White Turbomatic saddle and a titanium Chorus seatpin, yet the pictures show a yellow/black turbomatic with an aluminium seatpin?

Are there other differences please?

Is the saddle leather or suede?. If you end up splitting the bike I'd be interested.

That's correct, chromed forks with a painted crown.

Columbus SL

underside bb (and underside of chainstay showing chipped paint)

Sorry, cant work out how to attach multiple images to one reply, so here goes

OK, the photos< I'm hoping it wont disappoint!
57cm centre BB to top of seat tube. 57cm c-c top tube. ITA BB.
Braze ons are: gear levers, front mech, 2 x bottle cage, recessed top tube brake cable, pump peg.

Sorry, first ever post, think I need to add a price (though until you see the pictures it wont mean much) £280. Will ship in UK or Europe and can potentially deliver to London by arrangement.

For sale, stunning Carrera in final 'Pantani' colours. Chromed forks and rear triangle. Columbus SL tubing. Chromework is in mint 'as new' condition. Paintwork is superb with tiny scratches around seatpost entry and a larger scratch under chainstay (ie not visible normally)

Bought as a complete bike from Italy to take the Dura-ace 7400 series equipment. Frame too small for me.

Hope to post pictures tonight. Here is an image (not the actual bike) to get you started

I'd be interested in Frame only... if you can sell the equipment elsewhere?

Bottecchia 989 frame, from my personal experience, is one of the nicest Italian frames I've owned / ridden, with possibly the crappiest paint scheme of any frame I've ever seen.

What it may have is a hidden delight however, with the most amazing perfectly chromed forks under that ghastly red paint.

I decided to have my frame refinished in the classic black & chrome SCIC/Bottecchia colours. I stripped the paint to send the forks to be polished/chromed, only to find they were immaculately polished / chromed already! (possibly the best I've ever seen).

My guess is that these frames were hanging around at Carnielli after steel became unfashionable, so they painted them up as cheaply as possible to shift them out of the door.
I paid £70 for mine NOS some years ago, possibly one of my better buys in life.

CicloMondo do all the decals to refinish the frame (various types over the years, but strangeley no demand for the crap 989 decals!) . They do the gold foil headtube badge which no-one else appears to do.

I wonder if you can advise.... I have purchased (in Italy) a Tommasini Super Prestige fully equipped with Campagnolo C Record (8 speed ergo) throughout. Has pantographed 'Tommasini' 3TTT bars and stem etc. Bought it for a freind to use for the Eroica this weekend. Changing Ergo to downtube etc for the event and will then probably sell (but may keep frame and sell all parts)

Frame paintwork is immaculate, almost untouched. Frame chrome is excellent but slightly dull on one chainstay and slight mottling on inside of forks. Frame is 55 x 55 and believed to be SLX (has no decal, but paintwork is all factory original) All other Super Prestiges I have seen are SLX. This also has '15th Anniversary USA' engraved in BB shell.

Is is best to sell complete or split?
