Should I risk it and have him send it to me? Is it a bargain?
Thank you in advance,
There are limits to what any bike should have to put up with. Someone crossed that line a long time ago.
For mercy's sake, buy the bike.It's a Colnago. Is it rideable? From the pictures, who knows. Buy the bike anyway. You won't lose. You may have a very special score. I would buy it with no more information than those pictures, and hope for the best. Worst case, sell the parts, you won't be a loser. Good case, you have a pre-74 f"$&ing Colnago to restore. Make a few bucks- I'll buy it for $250 including shipping to NY right now. (I would not sell it to me if I were you.) There's only upside here. Cheers, Eric
