This brings on my next question:
Would you buy a classic Colnago for say $1000 or a new lower end bike from another manufacturer?
This friend of mine is trying to decide if the money will be better spent on the Colnago or a new, more modern, unridden bike of lesser quality.
Thanks
Did you look on both the inside and outside of the rear dropouts for that serial #?? Better colnago steel frames go on ebay for $500. I'd have to think real hard if it was campy 8 speed,and even harder if it wasn't chorus or record. But I might bite anyway if it was my size. I like Colnagos and $1000 won't buy near as much bling and chi-chi new.
