what do think? should i buy this bike
the asking is 250euros??

250 Euro for the bike? not just frame? yah I would buy it.
Its a nice model, a bit different which I like.

thanks Marty for pushing me to he right direction.
I bought the bike for 222e including delivery.

now it would be nice to know more/something about it.

any useful links? how to get more info on this frame please share!!

iam running short of ideas,where and how to turn to??

Rikardo,

post some pics please.
I think from what you described the bike is gilco tubing. Round where
the tubes join but there are channels in the tube so the cross section
would almost be star shaped?
You can also go to http://search.bikelist.org/ and search Classic Rendezvous
for "Gilco" and "Colnago" (enter search like that).
also www.classicrendezvous.com is a good resource and
the list that they run (intsructions on their web page) suggest that
you get digest form unless you like tons of email.

Marty

Thank you very much of those links.

I ll go trough them when i the bike arrives in 2-3days .
I also will post more pictures.

Riku

The Bike arrived,and thanks again for the "good buy" comment .
I am extremely happy and proud owner and very eager to take to the nice long summer ride.
Just hope that the snow would melt soon and it would get tad warmer than -20c

I think she is a colnago essamexico somewhere between 1987-1989
the front shifter,bars,brakes,stem are originalparts
the rest is newer additions.I hope that i find campa r der from somewhere?? the shimano sora is not good match with the frame.

Here are the pictures.
