Anyone got an old Colnago?

I think a 57 or 58 would suit, I can't try either so need to plump for one.

I'm a gnats chuff under 6 ft tall, 33 inside leg, longer torso than legs

Anyone got a clue, google is fruitless...

I'm pretty much the same measurements and ride a 56 ctc. So it's 58 centre of bottom bracket to the top of the top tube.

I have tried both bigger and smaller and the above is what i have found comfiest. You may find that an older frame may have a fairly long top tube. Again that's going to be dependant on torso arm length and other stuff. I would definatley see if you could try a few before you buy.

I'm 5'10'' 32 leg

My late 80's Colnago Super is 54 ST and TT ... it's perfect in every way.

Easier to fit a small frame to a bigger chap than vice versa
