another master

[Cossington]

It does look fantastic. What year is that paint job from? Looks late 90's to my eye, hence my query regarding the curved (non-Precisa) fork.

How does it ride?
More pics always gratefully received.

All the best,
David

No worries, I wasn't being flippant
I bought it with the curved forks, I read somewhere it was possible to chose, I can't accurately date it , but you're probably right, mid to late '90's

It rides like a dream, and is at it's best on a sunny day
here's pre face lift pic and I'll put more on my blog

Hi Saarf,

Great to hear it also rides well. What tubeset is the frame built of?

 

[saarf]

the same as most origianal masters, columbus gilco tubing

There's one on flee bay a size 60 my size same tube set asking for £375 they have rejected my offer for £300, should I go higher? :?

Another one, here, looks like an earlier steel frame - round tubes.

£375 for a Master is a good price, if it is in good nick. New frames are a good four figure sum. If it needs a re-spray it is a different calculation.

If it is not a Master, but an earlier steel frame, the price would beexpected to be lower. Colnagos will re-sell readily and command a premium over many other brands.

If it was me, and thecolour scheme, frame model and size are right, I'd ask when I would next have a chance of finding another one at that price.

Good luck,

David

Sorry didn't mean to take over this thread. It will definitely need a respray the paint has chips and tiny rust patches in places.

so could be twice the price once it's restored. decisions, decisions.

 

[saarf]

I'm all for discourse

I have an Uscanini with gilco and full chorus for sale, may be a 60
