I ride between 56-58 preferably 57. I would consider a frameset swap for a Cinelli supercorsa, pogliaghi, de rosa, colnago, masi, galmozzi. I’m looking for a frameset swap for something in my size. Would be great if someone had the same bike same condition in my size but will consider aforementioned bikes.
You have what I'm looking for in height; I generally ride 51-53cm c-c so size is good there. What is your TT length? I have a complete Colnago Super, c. 1975 (original parts Nuovo Record, dated '74), blue w/chrome fork. ST is 57 cm c-c, approx. 58.5 c-t (need to check TT length). I wasn't planning on letting it go stripped of parts; but seeing your frame has me thinking. I've never seen an example of my frame with the decals it has (OE decals/paint) so I have never been able to determine exact year even though seeing examples of all the range of frames from the '70s (if accurately dated). Bike is not presently at hand thus no good photo(s)(Colnago rear quarter shown w/purple Basso, not the "GAP"). No dents, damage other than the years of wear on paint/decals; minor rust in some areas. Similar condition to your frame. I will check if I have anything else in your size that might be of interest to you. I do have an excellent condition rare GION frameset, '80s, only about 200 made. Built by Giovanni Pelizolli (Ciocc frame builder), signed, panto'd. Also, have a Basso "MOOR GAP" in very good condition, complete w/primarily Super Record group. I need to check actual sizes on both, but in the 57-58 cm range. Would you consider selling? You may PM me with comments. Thanks!
