Now Sold!!! Colnago C40 original Mapei

jax

Retro Newbie
SOLD..
I have reached the painful decision to offer my Mk3 Colnago C40 in Paris Roubaix colours for sale. Opinion is that the MK3 B Stay version is the Holy Grail of C40 family. Frame is a 57, I am 6ft and it fits me fine as you can see from the amount of seat pin showing.
We are due to downsize and so we cannot keep everything. Also, due to injury I am not likely to enjoy riding her either.
I have owned her around 5 years and only ridden it on very rare occasions and on a dry sunny afternoon only.
The paint is in original excellent condition, no dents, dings, chips or bubbling up.
When I say it is Mint it really is! I have been accused of being the fussiest person ever and trust me You wont be disappointed!
This is a genuine 90s bike not a chinese copy!!
Comes with all genuine period parts; Campagnolo Neutron wheels, Campagnolo Record 10sp groupset. Colnago carbon fiber crank (cost over £600). Seat Pin is Colnago carbon fiber. Seat is Colnago Prologo. It even has its original period Campagnolo Cycle computer.
The Bike lives in Otley nr Harrogate and you are welcome to come and view. You can call me on 07790859301 to discuss the bike and arrange to see it.
I will consider splitting the wheels if you prefer to add your own but it is being offered as a whole bike. I will also consider a part ex but am looking for around £2200 for it.
This is a museum quality bike with very expensive Record parts not a tired and tatty one ;-)

Right, having explored further it seems the B Stay version MK3 is the Holy Grail of the C40s :)

I have a crankset like that one, a Zefiro unite made for Colnago
 
Re:

I'd be interested in frame & forks - would want to build it up full shimano if i had it so no use for groupset etc...
 
Yeah I know - this is a late reply. But, just FYI - that isn't the same "Paris-Roubaix" colour scheme as the 1-2-3 bikes from 1996. Museeuw et al rode the original black and yellow Mapei colour scheme - the same scheme as Rominger's 3 Vuelta victories on a BiTitan. The later blue "waves and boxes" scheme came later; after Mapei's greatest days. Yours isn't from the 90's
