Hi,

I recently bought an old steel frame that has Colnago decals on it. I paid USD 183 or SGD 250 for it and the ride is seriously smooth, like the bike wants to move forward on its own. Very comfortable bike.

However, I would like to know if it's a genuine Colnago. The owner mentioned that it has its parts switched out at a point to mainly Shimano stuff, as he used the original Campy parts on his other bike. It now sports a Shimano 105 cranks, toeclips and Front-D, Shimano Exage Rear-D and also Shimano brake calipers.

I have since re-serviced the bike by changing away all the brake cables and shifter cables, took out the seatpost ( albeit in a most strenuous fashion ) and regreased it, and also slapping on new "vintage" white bar-tape. Even though the bolts are mainly rusty, the frame itself is in a generally good condition. The components are rusty and dirty but still of great performance.
