It's a 56 cm. Originally it came with a steel precisa fork and a mixture of parts. I sold my Cannondale CAAD 10 and as I ride cyclosportive "races" (last year the GF Giordana, this year it will be the Fausto Coppi), I putted lighter stuff on it (including the Flash carbon fork).
Here's the original setup with steel Precisa fork:

This is another of my late 90's bikes. It's a 1998 Colnago Master Extra Light with Gilco tubing. I'm still working on it but it's entering the final phase. Took of the mixture of components that were on it (shimano 600, dura ace, campa record,...) and equipped it with a Sram Force 10 speed groupset (s900 crankset) and carbon tubular wheels.

Sorry, I must have missed that rule. I'm rather new on LFGSS.
As I said: I bought this bike actually not really knowing how exeptional (or not) it was. Carrera never was very popular in Belgium (in the past only Merckx and Colnago were) so I wanted to know if anyone here knew more about it (and it's possible value).

The guy isn't answering any more so here's the ad (in Dutch) for the size 54 one:

Thanks. Bought it as an "investment" but when I went to see the seller and saw the bike "in real" it was love at first sight. It's a keeper. Amazing bike, just a bit heavy... That is: significantly heavier than my Colnago Master from '91 (wil post photo's of that one later; still "under construction")

As I’m not about to sell it I can tell you I paid a bit more than 200 GBP. I think that was a bargain. I only wanted to know how big a bargain it was, that's why I asked. ;-)
If anyone is interested: I’m at this moment negotiating a similar one in size 54 (’93 but with “just” a Athena on it) so let me know how high I can go and I’ll buy it for one of you. ;-)

I have a brand new silver Onza seatpost made from Easton EA70 taperwall aluminium. It's 400 mm long and diameter is 27,2 mm.
I bought it "blind" but I needed a 350 mm seatpost and this one is too beautiful to cut off some centimeters...

Price: what about 30 euro??

I'm sorry to say but the day Merckx started producing Aluminum frames, the character bleeded out of his frames. He tried to build them "handmade" in his factory (in his backyard) but soon had to admit bike-building wasn't like in the old days any more and got into business with the Chinese.
But there's probably a market for this kind of bikes. ;-)

Have a nice Shimano 600 Tricolor front mech for sale. Used but in very good condition. Asking 15 € without shipping (or good offer).
From the same era and groupset: a 1 inch Shimano 600 headset with sealed bearings. For this beauty I'm asking 20 € without shipping (or good offer).
Front mech and headset can go for 30 € (also: shipping from Belgium not included).

Not yet. It's the one withe the aluminium steerer so according to what I've found on te internet, it should be about 200 g lighter. I will weigh them as soon I have better scales.
