Nice one here

That looks quite nice, although by the looks of it, I would have thought the frame size was a bit smaller than what they are claiming.

Just seen this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264243220332?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649 within striking distance of home but know virtually nothing about vintage bikes especially Colnago. Any thoughts? Would it be suitable for a first project?

Just seen this within striking distance of home but know virtually nothing about vintage bikes especially Colnago. Any thoughts? Would it be suitable for a first project?

But is it a Colnago ??

That's what I was hoping someone might know.

That's what I was hoping someone might know.

Ask for a picture of the bottom bracket underside and any stampings on it

I would expect the bottom bracket to have Italian threading so ask him to confirm thread type

This is a Colnago Sport although made under licence for them

Thanks, I'll make further enquiries

They appear to have reversed the back wheel and put a single sprocket on the drive side, but kept the drailleur, so the wheel could be put back to a 5 gear setup with no fuss. Interesting.

That's what I was hoping someone might know.

Looks nice, but second picture the decals look out of alignment (like the seller; I am suspicious).

If you can pick up and get it for £20 or so, it could be a good deal (and fun doing up).
