In a small shop in a small Sardinian town I found 20 Colnago aluminium cyclocross frames that are aging in the backshop. The frames are 10 years old and unused, and I think they can make a good basis for an "urban attack vehicle". At least that's what I'm going to do with mine. The shopowner is willing to sell them at a very interesting price. I can take care of shipping.
Anyone interested can contact me at gualal@katamail.it and I will send you the details about sizes, weights and prices.
Disclaimer: I'm not doing this for commercial reasons, nor do I get anything out of this. I only think that the best place for a Colnago frame is under the bum of a good cyclist, rather than in a backshop.
More details came out since I posted the last mail: the frames were originally made for a Belgian C/C team that in the end didn't buy them.
When the local dealer was offered to buy the lot for a reasonable price, cyclocross was high here, but it was soon killed off by the rise of MTB.
Domenico, the dealer, sells each frame for 465000 ITL (= 240 Euros) plus shipping, the available sizes are 54, 55, 57, 58, 59 and 60 measured centre to end, as is in Colnago custom. Centre to centre measurements are (in cm.).
| Colnago size | seat tube | top tube |
|---|---|---|
| 54 | 52.5 | 53.5 |
| 55 | 53.5 | 54.0 |
| 57 | 55.5 | 56.0 |
| 58 | 56.5 | 56.5 |
| 59 | 57.5 | 57.0 |
| 60 | 58.5 | 58.0 |
ciao e grazie
