not under any clear coat, cheaply made and slightly askew.

how is yours?
1975 Bikeology Boasted they had 500 Colnagos due that year. One dealer.

It came to me with clinchers, and I didn't feel like putting the sew-ups back on. That pair of tires still cost me $100.

I bet it's a very nice bike to ride. Good old Colnago's, like yours, always put a silly smile on my face. Love it.

there are plenty of tan sidewall clinchers.
at $100 for that pair you are bought in.

that written one of my Colnagos has a flat, one of those overnight leaks - very frustrating
so I swapped front wheels with my son's bike as it was at hand and he has a casing rupture on the rear Continental... black sidewall...
anodized rim, terrible look, but it functions.

all will be made right with the world tomorrow.
