One has to go
Cleaning out. One has to go. Which to keep?
1). 1982 Conago Super, Campy C-Record, components excellent condition, standard Italian flaking red paint-job
2). 1986 3Reshno Special Export, Full DA 7400, paint in much better shape, small dent on top tube.
Both are faster than snot, but I really don't ride either one much anymore.

Keep the 3Rensho!
Frankly, a much more solid/well built racer IMO!
Colnagos are soooo plentiful out there. You can always find one if you want another again, but not the same with a 3Rensho.

oh darn. Too big for me. If they were 53 or 54, I'd take one off your hands... really wouldn't care which one, either.
Oh well.
I agree with Chombi; keep the 3Rensho.

Another vote to send the Nago packing - due to the "you may never find another-ness" of the 3Rensho.

If you need the coin, I would sell the one that will bring the highest price (the 3Rensho).
If you just need the space, I would sell the one easiest to replace (the Colnago).

If you decide to send that Colnago packing, I live in Lincoln, NE and would be happy to give it a new home where it would find joy and happiness, maybe after a little visit to Joe Bell in San Diego for a repaint. I'd definitely be interested in discussing it with you.

Sell the Colnago. In the price per awesome ratio it'll bring the most money while removing the lesser amount of awesome from your stable.
