Colnago Dream Lux!
 

I was trolling craigslist and happened upon this beauty. When I saw it I just knew I had to have it. I emailed the seller and as soon as he returned to town I set up a meeting to pick it up. After locking my keys in my car as soon as I got there(along with the cash) and getting a spare key from home, I had it. I'll leave you with a picture to drool over.

I'm pretty set on whats going on here, but I'm open to suggestions.

Enjoy the ride :)

Many cuss words were said that day. Congrats on the find, though.

I've always had a soft spot for that bike. That's one of the better paint jobs I've seen too. Look forward to build pics. You should post some side by sides with the Bianchi. Love the bonus pic too.

Wow! Many happy miles!

I'd like to get a Dream myself one day.

Nice score.

I'm putting the Record derailleurs on this bike and putting some silver derailleurs onto the Bianchi.

Nice frame. Love the color.

That cat looks like trouble tho. Both pix have him looking like he's ready to chew something.

That's a gorgeous frame. Cute kitty, too.

What are the other details?

how much? great find!

$?

Superb find!

Nice find.

That's one ferocious-looking cat.

crap. the more i look at these the more i want one.

there's one on ebay that i'm very interested in....but they're asking over $1k.

yummy...the frame.

If a person has the money toys are not a problem.

I like the looks of it!! But I'm not familiar enough with Colnago's to know what model and year this is. What is it? Or is Dream Lux the actual name of the bike?

Nice grab. hope you enjoy it. I am personally not a fan of the frame color/theme, but thats just me. show us a picture when its all built up!

Which one? The one yawning in the first pic is the mischievous one, right now he's doing laps around the house.

Thanks and thanks.

I need some campy brakes, but I'm waiting for a deal to pop up, I don't need to get this bike rolling.

A woman...er...man never kisses and tells. Lets just say that with all of the above I'm only out about $775

He's a sweetheart.

Holy crap, I got a steal.

Living at home with the parents :D Moving out soon so I figure I'll attempt to get this out of my system.

Dream Lux is the model, it's made from Columbus Airplane Aluminum tubing. I could get the serial and attempt to look it up.

The color has grown on me a lot.

aluminum?

check out the tubing shape.

Not just aluminum, but hot, sexy aluminum. (It rides really nicely too).

I know, right?

Is that a real Colnago paint job?
