Ok - so it's not mine ANYMORE.

However, between Shifterbikes and I, there is a whole lotta love.

Laser leveled seat.

Parts polished within an inch of their lives.

I like it a lot.

Looks like you could take an eye out with that thing if the sun hit it. There's something so hot about white.

holy **** chris

babychris 04-09-07 08:59 PM

ha, I couldnt keep it a secret. I just wanted to tell everyone.

br995 04-09-07 09:04 PM

Why would you just post the frame? Post the whole fing thing.

babychris 04-09-07 09:19 PM

I dont have pictures of it set up/ I have it set up with all the parts from my panasonic. be patient.

Alright, I know this is like asking a guy how much he paid for his mail-order bride, but I won't even ask about the price. I just am interested in knowing where one locates a frame as stunning as that Colnago. I can't imagine there are a whole lot of those around and if one were to be interested in locating one, I'm wondering how that might happen. Probably need to know a secret handshake, or just sit with your ear to the conch and listen...

looks like my size Chris better lock it up tight!..

no man that frame is so nice can't wait to see the bike complete

ok, the story behind it is I got enough money for a new frame, so just to see if I got any interesting hits, I posted something on craigslist saying wtb track frame. that was the only reply I got. it was amazing when I read yeah, I have this colnago track frame, you can come check it out. I was so happy.

number18 04-09-07 10:10 PM

too bad you used up your good luck on that--shoulda played the lottery instead. that being said, that frame is ****ing amazing.

DoshKel 04-09-07 10:11 PM

No way.

No ****ing way.

I would not bring that to St. Pete if I were you ;)

babychris 04-09-07 10:13 PM

br995 04-09-07 10:18 PM

So you're telling me you posted, on craiglist, that you wanted a track frame, and the only reply you got was from someone saying they had an almost perfect Colnago track, in your size? If you paid less than $800 for that I'm going to cry.

babychris 04-09-07 10:20 PM

ha, yeah. I got it for 700, frame/fork/mavic bb/american classic headset/ lugged japanese drop stem, soma bonzo bars, and a chain. im so happy.

br995 04-09-07 10:24 PM

:eek: :eek: :eek: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Edit: On that depressing note, I'm going to go get on my Eimei and ride to a bike shop and look at cheap NJS parts. Then later this week I'm going to go to Kalavinka and pick up my Makino.:p

DoshKel 04-09-07 10:24 PM

I think I just heard several thousand people weep.

babychris 04-09-07 10:25 PM

you have no idea. when I saw it, I said, ok, im buying this. then he said 700 and I was like, oh my god. yes.

DoshKel 04-09-07 10:27 PM

Haha.

I can only imagine man. Your face must of been priceless.

babychris 04-09-07 10:30 PM

it was. you gotta see it in person so see all the details. youll flip.

DoshKel 04-09-07 10:45 PM

Yes I will.

I am angry though. The fact that you showed me this so far away is downright ruthless. Now I have to wait a full eleven days.

nayr497 04-09-07 10:52 PM

That story is unreal, Chris! Yeah, nice work. I have enough trouble emailing people on c-list and getting a response, much less making a posting in "wanted" and getting a response. Really, really crazy that the person was actively trying to sell that frame; something like that seemingly sells itself.

Well, congratulations and yeah, your luck is all used up for around 9 years or so. I think c-list will see postings regarding people looking for amazing Colnago frames for cheap in every city they have listed.

It is only April but you might have "find of the year" sewn up for the forum:)

babychris 04-09-07 10:55 PM

haha, I still cant believe it. thanks for all the compliments!
