Default FS: NOS 55cm Colnago Super frame and fork

I have listed this Colnago twice on eBay, and twice have cancelled the
auction with bids due to overseas bidders. This Colnago is available only to
buyers in the lower 48 United States...sorry, no exceptions.

Many pictures available on request.

=====================

This is one of those rare opportunities to own a legendary hand-made Italian
steel Colnago road frame that has never been ridden. In fact, it has never
even been built up!

The Colnago Super is no longer being made, and Colnago has recently
announced they will no longer be making any all-steel frames. These classic
Colnago's are so scarce I don't believe I will have another opportunity to
acquire any, especially in this popular size. With beautiful riding weather
and tax refunds just around the corner, it is time to get that special frame
you have always wanted.

This beautiful Colnago, made in Italy of Columbus steel tubing with a
chromed fork and right chain stay, measures 55cm center of bottom bracket to
top of top tube with a 54cm top tube. The light sky blue to pearl yellow
metallic paint scheme is stunning!

The frame has the Colnago clover pantographed into the brake bridge and
lower head tube lug, with COLNAGO in the top of the seat stays. The fork has
the Colnago clover with the Colnago "C" around it pantographed into the fork
crown. The rear spacing is 127mm, head tube length 124mm, and the threaded
1" fork steerer is 177mm long. The bottom bracket has been checked and an
Italian-threaded bottom bracket spun right in.

This frame has adjustable rear horizontal dropouts (screws not included),
braze-on front derailleur tab and down tube shifter bosses, derailleur cable
guides brazed-on under the bottom bracket shell, one set of water bottle
bosses, and the rear brake cable housing is routed on the top of the top
tube.

There are no dings or dents.this bike is in wonderful condition. There are
two 2mm light yellow, sharp pencil lead thin, end-to-end straight lines on
the top tube by the top head tube lug that the distributor believes occurred
during painting (a paint blemish is not rare with a hand-painted Italian
frame) but you may not notice them and they do not detract at all from the
beauty of this frameset. I have a picture if you would like to see.

The chrome on the right chain stay, rear dropouts, and fork is shiny and
bright. The frame and fork have been completely treated inside the tubes
with Boeshield T-9 rust prevention spray. This frame will turn heads
wherever you go.it is stunningly beautiful! It also will provide you with a
wonderful ride that you can only experience on a Colnago. Once you build
this frame up and ride it, you will understand why Colnago has such a
fiercely loyal following.

$575 professionally packed, shipped, and insured within the lower 48 United
States.
