Hi to all interested in the Colnago Tom mentioned. If it sounds too good to be true...the frame is from a Nishiki Cervino, built by Colnago in the early 80s. I bought the 60cm c-c bike for the Super Record reduced group on it. (I ride a 56.) The frame has been moved a dozen times since then and it shows. The Nishiki decals literally washed off when I wiped dust off it years ago, hence the confusion on whether it was a 'real' Colnago or not. And it definitely has been built...that is how I bought it, just never ridden. Sorry to the many who emailed me...to be fair to all I will probably list it on eBay with pics of the scratches, etc.
