Hi All,
A few days ago I did buy a Saronni red Colnago Super size 56. I personally think it is one of the most beautiful bikes around.
- I take it is a Super - can anybody confirm? Any idea of age?

The bike has been used for max 10 rides - but has been stored in a shed and this has ruined the crome and paint. I don't think it can be restored.
Parts: All parts are virtually unused - even tires and brake pads are completely unused.
Frame: Due to the storage chrome and paint are in really bad condition - and I assume they can't be fixed?
I'm not sure how to go from here:
- Will the bike loose it's value if re-painted/re-cromed?
- I assume around 500-700$ for crome and paint - is it worth it?
- Anybody got an idea of the value in it current condition?
Appreciate all you great advice!
Have a great day
BO
