My buddy has a:

2003 Colnago Dream Lux Mapei 56cm.

Ritchey stem, Campagnolo Record Carbon Rear dérailleur, *FSA Octalink 53-39 Carbon crankset, Crane Creek 200sl brakes, Colnago seat, Colnago carbon seat post,*Campagnolo Record Ergopower Shifter/Brake Lever Shifters, Shimano Sora front dérailleur, Colnago Ambrosia Excellence front wheel with Dura Ace front hub, Campagnolo rear hub with ? Wheel. No idea on the 10 speed cassette.

The bike fits the well used category, frame nicks, scratches, chips, no cracks that i can detect. The crankset, brakes, hubs are grimy, needs a good cleaning. Everything works and it rides sweet but needs a bit of tuning.

I'm debating about buying it for $450 to use as a road training bike, not being familiar with this bike have no idea if that is a fair, good, or buy it now deal. I sure could use some advice from the Colnago knowledgable.

Condition unknown without seeing it in front of me.
But, At $450 you might be buying stolen property from a thief.

I wouldnt go that far...I've bought many, many legit bikes for much, much less.
