I've been wanting to buy an older bike and I've come across a 1984 Celo Europa world champion. a little bit of googling and I come across a lot of colnago references...any idea what the deal was with these bikes? Is it a good deal at 3-400 bucks?

thanks guys

quote from that thread:

this is from Sheldon Brown

Celo Europa

A house brand of Marcel Celborn, these are probably either Colnagos or built by a builder that builds some of the Colnago models. The examples we have seen are very tidy - certainly at least as good as a typical Colnago (https://www.sheldonbrown.com/vrbn-a-f.html#colnago) or Olmo (https://www.sheldonbrown.com/vrbn-o-z.html#olmo). For a guideline condition (https://www.sheldonbrown.com/vrbn-a-f.html#guideline) road bike figure about$700.

$400 bux for heritage ol' school steel?! Hells yah!

You could try Classic & Vintage, along with better pictures (frame closeups ie head lugs, BB, fork crown) & details (components ...).

im going to check it out in person tonight...ill get pics then...maybe offer 200 and see if he takes it...for 200 most any road bike should be worth it...looks kinda cool too
