Far less than useful.

At least I was able to get the Tubus on its front fork with the mid-fork mount.
I like your Hollands far more.

Late 80's Centurion LeMans, all original, in very good condition. 58cm seat tube center to center. I bought it from the original owner who kept it in great shape. I've only ridden it once, but have too many bikes so time to let it go.

Was lucky enough to get this today. Was right in my backyard...



It's an '83 Voyageur, not the top of the line SP but it's very nice with almost no paint imperfections. Will clean up well once I spend some time on it. Half step with a granny ring. Brooks Professional is good shape. Been sitting for years so full overhaul coming. My size too.

Good for you. I tried for it but the guy said it was gone in 30 minutes. He said he must not have priced it right since he got a lot of calls. I would pay more for the saddle than what he sold the bike for.

I was really hoping it would go away but it didn't. I gave it a week but it was still there. I now own a Tommisini Sintesi. I am shocked at what I paid for it but he came up with the price so I don't feel bad.

My guess is it will go for much less with that sizing.

I'm glad you have it.

They really are great bikes and that one is gorgeous.

I have one up at the cabin and it's a sweetie. You'll really like it and that price makes it feel like free.

I don't know whether to feel bad about it now after the fact. If I had more cash on me without going to an ATM I probably would have tossed him more. He was a nice guy, moving so clearing space. I think if I was immediately going to turn it around and sell I'd feel worse but I'm thinking this will stick around.

The gal has an '82 Voyaguer SP that she really likes. Building that up for her and seeing the quality is a big reason why I'll probably keep this once I figure out what direction I'm going to take here. As you know, been wanting to build something with modern components with bigger rubber, maybe try my hand with some gravel.

Very tempting.

[h=2]Colnago "Rolls" frame and fork (plus extras!) - $300 (Minneapolis) [/h]







© craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap




(google map) (yahoo map)

condition: excellent
make / manufacturer: Colnago "Rolls"





52 cm center to center. Pretty silvery speckled metallic paint job. A few tiny nicks in the paint and the decals are kinda rugged, but the bike is easily 25 years old? Older? Here's the esoteric part: There's not a whole lot of information out there about these bikes, but apparently there was a shop in NJ back in the day selling what were more or less re-branded Colnagos. Perhaps renegade builders. Or maybe it's just a really convincing Fauxnago, but it looks like a Super to me. Either way, your soon-to-be classic Italian build will be sure to turn heads and spark conversations.Omas headset, Campy BB, and some super slick gold cable housing included to sweeten the deal.

Seen this once before, the fenders are cut away at the fork crown and brake bridge. The bike i saw it on was used for foul weather training.

If this was south of the cities instead of north, or if I had the day off tomorrow, I'd be all over it. Chrome suggests it was higher end.

All good with this 30 year-old bike. I just don't use it any more and can no longer store it. 10-speed Diamond Back with good 26" tires, good brakes, adjustable seat and back rack. Nice ride.

I owned a Rolls in the 1970s - in fact, I rode across the U.S. on one in the summer of 1979. They were not Colnagos. They were not LIKE Colnagos. I had heard that the founder of the company once worked for Colnago. Basically, my Rolls was equivalent to maybe a Raleigh Super Course or Schwinn LaTour of the same time. Mine cost between $139 and $149 in the late 1970s. It was Italian-made steel of unknown origin, it certainly could have been Columbus, but there were no decals, but it was pretty light for the time - my small frame was maybe 23.5-24 lbs and it was stiff enough for me as a small 140 lb. rider. In fact the reason I bought my Rolls is that they made a decent 700c bike with 20 " frames, and the Raleigh and Schwinns were not available in that a small size.

Mine did not have the clover-leaf lug work and BB cutout, braze-on shifter bosses, or forged Campy dropouts. That frame looks to be a higher end model than mine. I sold mine when I outgrew it soon after my cross-country trip, and bought the slightly larger Trek 510 that I still own today.
