"Johnson says he agrees with Cameron’s decision not to immediately invoke article 50 to leave the EU." -> Johnson says he would quite like to eat some cake and also have some more later when he is leader?

British or Italian BB?

I think we've got the cream of the crop already...

You just can't resist these cheesy puns can you?

Indeed it could, that's another fine extra-terrestrial-looking stem! Thanks. (I've also seen/like the 3TTT status, which is somewhat similar to both but with a different cover on the bolt.)

May I ask what stem that is on the Master Olympic? Cinelli Oyster? It looks a) hot; b) a bit like something from Aliens...

but what bars are those? needs risers etc

How long do you want to spend in Inverness? I think you could pick up a bike in Fort William, get an early train to Inverness (be very sure to book your bike place!), poke about Inverness for a bit, and then cycle back. It'll still be daylight until nearly 9pm in Fort William. Though, are you thinking of riding along the A82 between FW and Fort Augustus? I'm not sure that will be a relaxing cycle. If picking up a bike in FW, what about getting the Corran Ferry and trying to get a bit more into Scottish countryside away from the mainest roads.

spray the calipers

Probably should have, vanity is most unbecoming!

still available? PM sent anyway...

Thanks very much, I'll also pass because I've got an Italian bottom bracket shell. AFAI can understand, I could replace the cups and it should all be fine, but I've not bought/installed such a crank set before so I'm going to hold out for a complete one that fits (possibly hopelessly on a UK forum I realize). Plus, I was hoping for black brake calipers tbh...

@anidel is anyway before me, but @MRI please feel free to get in there if he/she also lets it go.

I'm also interested pending photos, a couple of questions, and if @bikenrrd (and now @anidel... so slow) passes it up.

Questions, just in case: what size BB? Braze-on or band-on front mech? Would you post outside the UK?

Yes, I think so too. But then it's been painted in this bizarre, thick, horrible, green paint, almost as if by hand with a big brush. But part of the attraction was a frame with fluted tubes that I can get repainted without any remorse about destroying some classic Colnago paint job.

Here's my Gianni Motta which is the reason I was asking. It was described as Columbus MS Gilco from between 1988-1992. I thought all the fluted tubes were Gilco, with number of flutings perhaps related to age, but not confined to Colnago. As I'm sure you know, you can find different Gilco decals, some with Colnago on them like the ones up thread, others just saying Columbus MS Design etc, so I was thinking that this could indeed be Gilco. But there's lots of types of crimp/fluting and different makes of bike further up the thread, and I can't find any picture of a Gianni Motta with tubing decal, so who knows. The fork at least is from a Gianni Motta!

Especially like that yellow master, though also the master olympics (@Concept2 and @saarf), the Rabobank master (@WimVDD) and the red master (@JusCos). They're all made of Columbus Gilco with 4 flutings, right? Does anybody know what distinguishes the different Gilcos? Did the number of flutings increase with time? Price? Were they all the same and different frame builders just chose the one they liked somehow? (I'm asking because I've got a rather funny Gianni Motta with 5 flutings.)
