Colnago is the better deal of the two, and not because it's a "Colnago" either - it's simply in better overall shape, and the repaint is presentable.

I'm thinking of getting them both repainted. There's a local bicycle painter here, Chester Cycles, that does a very nice job, and I'd like to try working with him. I'd like to get them restored before selling them, and if the opportunity arises, do a full custom build on one or both for someone local in chicago, or elsewhere.
