Cheers, Glws. 500 is a good price for a nice Italian Campag specced thoroughbred!

If you want to part out the Chorus/Omega wheelset I'll make it worth your while to split?

If paying by PayPal gift, you are as well sticking money in an envelope for al the protection you get. Regular PayPal outside of eBay gives you good, but not bulletproof protection: they can still be arsey about paying out, but its usually just a matter of them making you wait longer for a refund.

I'm always a bit suss of photos of a lot of items taken with three different backgrounds: some of the pics are taken on a black carpet with no weave, the rest on a purple carpet with a distinct weave and the other on a hardwood flooring.

Have you tried dropping the photos onto Google search? That'll tell you if the exist elsewhere: a sure sign of a copy/paste 'non existent item' scammer.

PayPal gift?.....

Still interested in the Chorus / Omega wheels?

Is this now on eBay,?

Tubular or clincher tyres ?

What version of Kysirium wheels are on it?

Can't believe this frame is still here!

PM sent. Available tonight.

Same era but significantly lower spec frameset. Price should reflect.

Wheels reduced to £110 plus post.

A large adjustable spanner, which locks well and isn't loose. I've fixed half a dozen bent hangers like this. Trick is to make small, incremental moves to get it back vertical and straight again. Done it by eye many times, and generally back to perfect or at least full function again.

+1 screw extractors. Great on large bolts (6mm plus) but near hopeless on smaller ones. My lbs got a stripped hex out of a vitus by soldering a long handle 4mm Allen key into the stripped hole. I've also seen this done successfully with a welding joint on stuck pedals into cranks you have to cut the bulk of the pedal off to leave a stub of the spindle, weld a steel bar onto it at 90 degrees and bosh, it's off. It's all about leverage innit!!

Thanks. That's a nice example. A good Carbitubo duo frame is always in the region of £1000. This one is even rarer being a pristine example of a pukka German Team bike. As a complete build it owes me about £2.5k, so I think it's a very fair selling price for the high level of finish you get for your money.

The title might be a bit confusing. The wheels are Campagnolo Shamal HPW Titanium 12 spoke version, ie 12 spokes front and rear, with aluminum 10 speed sprocket carrier. They are roughly twice as expensive as regular Shamal HPW wheels, approx £5-800 a set depending on condition ect.

I'd be interested in the groupset/wheels?

Can post wheels UK wide (even Highlands) for just £10

I've got a 56cm gen 1 C40 myself, haven't built it up yet but placed it side by side a 56cm Colnago Super and it looks pretty much identical geo. Maybe 0.5cm in the seat tube, which is nothing. I've found I've been able to make just about any frame less than 58cm fit me! For everyday cycling I'll ride a 55.5cm Daccordi TSX.

Sizing is a bit of old cobblers imo. Just about anyone can ride a bike within a 1.5cm range, given saddle and bars adjustment. Oh to be pro and get every bike millimetre perfect!
I was chatting to Rominger after the race in Crans Montana, top bloke, and like nearly every Swiss rider there, all Colnago fetishists. Rominger has SIX carbitubo bikes (count em). He also owns a garage full of Joker C4 which he apparently bought at a bankrupt sale when they went belly up. Daresay they'll wind up on eBay one day...

Cheers. It's good to chat to a fellow Mapei enthusiast! The C40 I got is in black with the multi coloured Mapei squares. Yours looks sensational.

Rominger in typical flat out Mapei Carbitubo duo guise. This is the very frame he was STILL riding 'competitively' in 2006 at his own Rominger Classic.

The first gen duo had lug problems. I've steered well clear. This being a handmade team issue bike I'd say it was more like a regular geometry, and 57cm square so no daft angles to upset the ride quality.

I also have the original (to this Carbitubo) owners extreme lo profile which was ridden at the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the 1989 world champs. Have provenance!!

I've only ridden a C50, this is my first C40 and like the Carbitubo I'll be going for a full Record Carbon build with Shamals. It compares very well to the C50, about 80g heavier frame but extremely comfortable over long distance. Rominger was of the same opinion :)
