Id expect a couple of chips here and there anyways, ive got a bianchi minimax frame from mid 90's and didnt have perfect paint, and in learning how to fasten a chain on the bike ended up putting a couple more marks on it, oops!!, but i love it all the same, i think let the bike wear its age with pride, bikes are for riding not keeping in a museum, really more interested in originality of the bike, which sounds like its exactly what im looking for, and will make a nice addition to the stable, (along with my dawes galaxy), i aim to keep the bike original as well, im not going to be taking it apart to make a fixie out of it, as cool as those are, respect is due to this old steed. (please dont fire me!!!! i do own a fixie!!!)

dibs, but want to know for sure, that there are no bad marks on the bike to be aware of, and part of the deal is for the gators!!!, been looking for a colnago for a while, and have to agree this is a bargain, and so cool to have the full chorus groupset, id have to wait till the weekend until i bought it though, as im in nottingham and at work all week, so either a saturday or sunday

really depends on what it is youre selling, how much i can see that its worth, what sort of condition its in, originality, etc... up to around £300 for something really nice lets say, but if thats not enough, sell it to me on its merits, what tubing its made from, how rare it is/ how many of them there are, i could be willing to spend more or less depending

And looking for italian columbus genius frame or whole bike -

Im having problems at moment, mating my riser bars to quill stem, the bars have a middle measurement of 25.4mm and the stem 26.4mm, Ive seen seatpost shims that will do 25.4mm to 26.4mm , and think that the way to fit would be to cut one of these down, but wandered if anyone had other suggestions, ive tried using coke can shims, and it just keeps rotating loose, not easy trying to force sharp bits of metal into the inside of stem!!
