FS: Colnago Dream Reflex Altec 2 Plus frameset

[faber26]

Due to sizing issue, I am reselling my Colnago Dream Reflex Columbus Aluminium Altec 2 Plus frameset.

The frame is the continuation of the Master family with the profiled tubes. The frame comes with the carbon fork Flash made by Colnago. There is Campagnolo Record ahead headset included.

The frameset is truly in great condition, the painting is in amazing state. There are however few alterations here and there, I will send pics asap.

On the road, the frame and fork are surprisingly confortable whilst being stiff at the same time, difficult to explain, it reminded me of a titanium ride.

Geometry and misc info:

The length of the top tube 53 cm center to center
The length of the seat tube 50 cm center to center,
The length of the head tube 105 mm
The length of the steer tube 200mm
700cc wheels
27,2mm seatpost required
1,36 x 24 Italian threaded BB required

Price down 280€ excluding postage from France

Re:

130mm rear OLN dropout width? Any idea on frame weight please? Also what width tyres would it take please? 25 or even 28mm?

For what it is worth these are reasonably light, probably 1400g with the fork.

Very stable at high speed downhill and a great ride for aluminium.

Will take at least 25mm tyres

They do suffer from corrosion underneath the paint so watch out for this - the cable hangers under the top tube and the front mech carrier are areas to look at.

You will have clearance for 25m tyres. I will also try to fit a 28m tomorrow

Indeed there are little spots due to corrosion but it is really minor, I'll take pictures of those areas.

OK let me know tomorrow, prefer 28 tyres on our really bad roads!

I have tried to take some pics of the clearance with two tyres : Schwalbe One tubeless 25 and Continental 4 Seasons 28 (tubetype). The Schwalbe is mounted on a wide Pacenti rim, whereas the Conti is mounted on a classic 17mm Shimano rim. At first I was surprised to see that the Conti is just a little bigger than the Schwalbe ... Based on this, I'd suggest that you measure the effective width of your 28 tyre.

Conti 28



Schwalbe 25



Regarding clearance, both are ok, there is about 2-3mm only between the tyre and the chainstays with the Conti, but that is ok. That said, I believe that a "true" 28 would not fit.

Now, the little corrosion points:

The hangers:









Cable stops:





The water cage holes on the seat tube are fine:



Some rubbing trace on the left chainstay:

Overall, the frame is in really good shape:
