Too small for me; too big for the wife
Am I wrong, or is $1575 a pretty good price for a nice Colnago frame and fork, NOS?
Wouldn't fit anyone in the house, but looks like pretty nice.

as far as the subject line goes - I generally have the opposite problem....
As far as the frame? Is it a good deal? A 1990 steel col? imho - no.
If it fit you and you rode the snot out of it - and it was your favorite bike...then yeah.

Far too much. You can get a new one for that price.

Colnago paint jobs remind me when I was a kid in Brooklyn, I visited my friend's homes (Italians), and their basements would have these really tacky Italian decor complete with working fountains, columns, and some kind of statue (all wrapped in plastic). That's what Colnagos are like....t-a-c-k-y!

Nice, but 46.5 x 52, horizontal TT? Must've been made for someone with odd proportions.

I was just going to hang it on the wall.
Grew up outside Philly, so I saw a few statues - but I also got a lot of big hugs and great meals from the moms; one of the dads lent me his caddy convertible to cruise in - all good people.
More than you know.
