I couldn't believe your luck finding a Campy Record equipped Colnago Titanio with a Grammo stem. for $150. All I could think was - WOW. Even with those bars, haha. After reading on I see you discovered the weld cracks. What a disappointment. I wonder how it came to be cracked? From my distance, and looking at the photo, it appears to be caused by frame stress at the welds caused by just everyday riding? It doesn't look like it was in a crash.

I've never heard of these twin downtube frames cracking at the welds before but, perhaps, it is a thing? Has anyone heard of this happening to other Titanio frames (cracking at the welds)?

If it was mine, and confessing to lusting over this model frame, I'd strip it down to the frame and try to find someone who can weld titanium, bring it back to life. But that's just me. I wonder if there is another 'me' somewhere around the US of A who would be just as obsessed as me - haha?

It is an extremely well equipped and built Colnago and those components all 'belong' together. Then again, those components would also suit any top of the range frame (preferably Italian) from that era. There may be some poor Colnago tragic out there that would take the frame off your hands for a small fee - even if it turned out to be wall art.

Good luck.
