very cool road Cenelli
My buddy just gave me this bike this morning, in awesome state. He said its a valuble and rare Italiun one. Too bad its way too big for me or I really do some thing with it. I want to sell, but someone told me its bette to take the pieces, like the gears and other off and sell them off them by them self. Is this true?Problem I have only vry few tools and it looks way different than my other bikes. Any advise? The bottom crank looks most valuble, what do i need after gitting the screw in the middle out? Do you pry it behind the arms? Anyway any help will be cool? my buddyies said they would help today ,

The red ones aren't valuable. If it were a silver one, it would be valuable. Since it's only a red one, just go ahead and use a ball peen hammer to knock the parts off. Use a claw hammer to pry off any small parts. Then, if you really want to make it valuable, take some lime green spray paint to it all, and describe it as "custom."
Once you've knocked all the pesky parts off, you can sell it on CL for about $12, 000.

Heat gun, dremel, and a ball-peen hammer are all you need. Oh, and a really big bench vise.
Have fun!

Don't pry that crank! It's a bike of fine Italian craftsmanship. Special steps required.
Therefore go to HD and buy a BFH and beat the components off that frame. Don't worry, Campy is hardy stuff and rebuildable to boot.
Quickest way to part it out. That BB is worth about a Gazillion bucks.

Wait.
I can tell from the sticker, that's a rare Columbus one - made by the man himself in roughly 1495. That baby belongs in a museum.

If you want friendliness, go to A&S. Those guys in the road forum don't even wave.
