Rabobank team Colnago ex Marcel Duijns, full Dura Ace team issue bar strangely an LX top pull front mech. Handling madly quick and toe overlap significant. fast.[img] [/img]

Bought it without checking for sure that size was ok, fitted pedals (only addition/change) and saddle was at just the right height. Didn't have cash with me so paid in buttons. Meant to be.

Thanks for the kind comment, it's 9 speed.

The photo actually makes it look even tidier than it is, it's clearly had a proper life and been well used, all patina as far as I'm concerned!

Another couple of photos:
Check out the Gilco shaped tubing!

Not exactly sure how old it is but Marcel was a pro 2000-03 so must around then.[img] [/img]

It doesn't look that cross, what have you done to upset it?

I think from the expression in the photo it was the original owner that made it cross, possibly livid.

How much? Is that how much I paid for it or how much do I want to sell it for? If the former I'll just say if I threw away the frame, forks and wheels I'd still have had a good buy but if the latter, I don't want to sell but thanks anyway.

Nice!

Not a crosser but my Colnago came to me in similar circumstances.

Proper bikes ๐Ÿ™‚
