Look what the courier has just delivered... Whilst the cat prefers the box, I am a very happy man, working from home, today. It is a non-original fork (Ahead set up, which I am happy enough with) and Columbus Brain tubing. From my calliper measurements it seems to be Brain OS (oversize), with...

Re: Lovely looking frame. A little too small for me, but just to clarify - this is a 57 in Colnago's sizing, I presume? GLWS, David

Spotted this - looks a nice frame (Columbus EL), albeit with a dent to the underside of the top tube which is mentioned in the text, but not pictured. Limited info on geometry and looks like a mixed Campag 9 speed group set. Don't see many Tommasinis for sale, but they do get excellent reviews...

What colour scheme are you going for - matching the original, or something different? Where are you planning to get it done? I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress.

Re: They look fantastic. That is not a paint scheme I recognise (and I've drooled over plenty of Colnagos in the past). Beautiful colours. I'd be very interested to hear the differences in ride, between the two frames. Enjoy, David

Re: Well done for finding this stash and one in your size, too. Two more NOS Merckx frames - these are the stuff of dreams.... Your bike looks great. I used to have a Corsa Extra - one of the most stable, comfortable, confidence-inspiring bikes I have ever had. Having bought mine with chipped...

Looks timelessly good. Is that 8 speed campy, and the first gen Shamal wheel? I whic case are the frame and forks newer than the groupset and wheels? I note the freuler frame. Enjoy, David

Re: Lovely looking frame, in a great colour. Have you owned this since 1986? Where did you buy it from? I had a Merckx (a Corsa Extra) and it was one of my favourite bikes - so confidence inspiring on descents. Lovely bikes. Thanks for posting, David

Hi, I'm selling this Pinarello frame with Columbus fork (headset and Chorus bb included)- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221728831479? ... 1555.l2649

Re: Probably too large, but ..... I have a powder-coated Pinarello, with a 58cm top tube, 19.2 cm headtube, 62ctt seat tube. Columbus steel (SL, I Believe, looking at old catalogues, it looks like a 'Treviso'). 130 mm rear spacing. Campag dropouts on the frame, non-original forks (Columbus...

Re: Lovely looking bike. I get a warm feeling inside, every time I see a Team (painted) Raleigh. I have got a similar model (team colours, badged as a 'Record', but a better frame than the UK badged Records - all 531, as you say). I had a problem sorting the bottom bracket, as I didn't know its...

Re: You have done a great job- looks like a real labour of love. My first new bike was an Olympus (red) and this thread brought back the memory of my elation at seeing it on my birthday; all ready to go. I loved that bike. Thanks for posting this, David

Re: Hi, I have two spare rear wheels. Both Campag compatible (one has a Tune hub, 28 spoke, only 775gms, the other is a Campag Eurus wheel). I suspsect you may be seekig something Shimano comaptible. Do let me know if you would like any more details. David

Hi, I have a Worksop built Frame and fork set (currently built up). It was bought NOS, about three years ago,with a few shop-soil scuffs. Full 531 (ie not just 'main tubes'). Good condition, built up and admired rather than ridden (has been ridden a few times, but less than 50 miles). Classic...

Re: That is a very good looking bike - the simplicity of the colour scheme lends it a very classy look. I recall these were very well regarded bikes when they came out (I seem to recall a staff member at Cycling Plus bought one, after testing it for the magazine). It looks like a very stiff...

Re: Hi, Stunning. What are the top tube and head tube measurements, please? Thanks, David

I've put a couple of ads on the CTC website. One for an Islabikes Beinn 20 small (childs bike), <http://forum.ctc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=94028> the other, for three single campag comaptible wheels - tune hubbed, handbuilt (Harry Rowland), a Eurus (rear) and a Shamal (front) -...

I have a powder-coated Pinarello Treviso, with a 58cm top tube, 19.2 cm headtube, 62ctt seat tube. Columbus steel (SL, I Believe). Drive side chain stay is chromed, but not perfect condition. Make a fabulous winter bike. The head tube length made it too tall for me. [ Campag dropouts on the...

Re: 60-62cm road frame anything considered I have a powder-coated Pinarello, with a 58cm top tube, 19.2 cm headtube, 62ctt seat tube. Columbus steel (SL, I Believe). The head tube length made it too tall for me at 6'3''. Campag dropouts on the frame, non-original forks (Columbus, with Columbus...
