Well, I'm glad it didn't come with SL pedals and an Italian thread BB (it didn't, did it?)!

Incredible find...

Hagel is what you do when buying bagels. When buying anything else, it's haggle.

Godfrey Daniels! What a great find! I can't believe one of the employees didn't sell that one to a friend or relative. You used up a lot of good karma Jim.

No, pawn store.

I did. It was tagged at $90

No, it didnt!! BSA BB. Upon further review its an Athena/Chorus level and beat.

It was. I was making the rounds yesterday and saw 'drop bars' as I drove by the pawn store. That was the only reason I needed to stop!!!

I know the local police agencies do that because they only have box store bikes at their auctions. I'm hoping there's some karma left, I have alot of parts and bikes to sell!!!

What size is it exactly? It looks like a 52 or 53? My size:)

I would also possibly be interested in the frame set. If it's available, please get in touch with me with price :)

If you're tearing that Colnago all the way down, could you weigh the frame and fork?

Just did it to my Mexico and would like some comparative values for the "Super vs Mexico" discussion that always pops up.

Sure. I'll have it tore down all the way with the exception of removing the headset cups and fork race.

Jim is a firm believer in never removing those pieces unless they're bad.
