Colnago Value
I'm looking at a Colnago locally on Craigslist. I think it is a super. It seems to have 600 components throughout (including pedals). It has Columbus SL Tubing and appears to be in fair condition. The fork has some rust, but the frame doesn't appear to. Any idea what I should be paying for this?

It seems to not be all Shimano 600. Brake caliper and crank look like 105 to me. Without better pics, I am not so sure it is a Colnago.
Bike is a project for sure. Of course, at the right price, even 105 components have decent value, and the frame looks nice. At the right (low) price, my motto is "grab now, study later."

Assume that it has not been receiving much in the way of maintenance. The questionable condition of the fork is a big variable in the value of the bike.
That all said, if the fork appears salvageable and does not need fresh chrome then $600.
Shimano 600 on a Colnago is not a choice group. Who knows what the bars, stem and seat post are.
If the guy wants $1,000. let someone else have the project.

I had emailed the owner within an hour of the posting and never got a response, I assume its long gone unless you already made contact. the list price was a bargain.

I suspect it is all 105 and judging for the looks of the rims at $180 I would buy it for the 'kit'
