So...
 

Say I had a perfect condition golden Colnago that's been babied forever and kept in an office. And I put it on Ebay with a starting bid of $40,000. Would you bid on it?

Totally hypothetical.

Nope. That's a fat downpayment on a house. :eek:

no id put a downpayment on a house.

It all depends on how much you would charge for shipping.

^^^ :lol:

Will you take a check?

Can I test ride it first?

If the frame was made of pure gold and weighed over 4.5 lbs then yes I think it would be a bargain.

with or without pedals?

Nope, (but good luck).

Why would anyone want a Colnago?

Absolutely not- what a waste of $40k. As others have noted there are better uses for that money- even if I were Bill Gates, $40k would be better spent on so many other things (cycling vacations?)

+1.

No

Absolutely! Of course I'd want to pay for it with a money order for $84, 365. Then I'd have an agent pick up the bike after you wired the change back to me via Western Union.

Sorry, I'm only interested in a matching pair...

sure, that'd be what.... like $200 canadian? you got a deal.

This should have been the end of the thread.

What...is this supposed to be the one that was given to the pope in that picture with Colnago giving it to him?

*insert horrible Pope/catholic joke here*

*allude to church/child abuse scandals here*

*come full cirlce with e-bay slam here*

*insult Colnago and anyone who would like them before ending post here*

I'm just asking, calm down. It's not mine.

Really, what did you expect of us?

Dang. You beat me to it.

Gotta love the craigslist scams. Who knew that many people in northern Africa want american bikes/stereo equipment/yard tools/etc.

Our government needs to hide their heads in shame.

Maybe in the dirt, without the bodies.
