Colnago



I will be moving soon and my new place has a lot less space than my current apartment. As a result, I am selling my beautiful Colnago cyclocross bike.

The bike was built up from the frame up. It was originally a Colnago Sprint 1980-something road bike. I had the frame spaced to accomodate cyclocross tires (700c x 32mm) and the brazeons installed for cantilever brakes. The frame and Colnago fork have awesome pantographs on the BB, seat stays, fork crown and several other places as well. 8 pantogrpahs in all.

The bike comes fully assembled and ready to ride. It is in perfect condition. A fun project and I am sad to see it go, but go it must. Almost full Dura Ace components.

No chips or dents or dings. Chrome dropouts on the frame and fork. Chrome driveside chainstay. The chrome isnt brand new, but it is in good shape.

Build:
Frame: Colnago (steel) Top Tube c-c: 57.5cm Seat Tube c-c: 59cm
Fork: Colnago (steel)
Brakes: Paul Neo retro and Touring
Headset: Dura Ace
Shifters: 9 speed Ultegra
Wheels: Araya rims on Dura Ace hubs
Crankset: Dura Ace with 38/48 rings
Seatpost: 27.2 silver
Stem: ITM
Pedals: Crank Brothers with cleats
Tires: Brand new rubber (Michelin Mud rear and Kenda front)
Cassette: Sram 9 speed
Chain: Sram
Saddle: old white one as shown

The frame is steel and will last a lifetime. The Dura Ace parts are in great condition. The bike is pristine. Brand new decals that are in perfect shape.

You may have seen this bike on my blog plusonelap.com

About the price: is it out of line? I dont think so for a one of a kind Colnago cyclocross bike with mostly Dura Ace components. I will accept all reasonable offers.

Come ride it around the block, but all sales are final.
