Dear CR List, I'm selling one pair of "Colnago graphics" black leather, ventilated uppers, with black plastic soles and black plastic cleats secured with three factory mounted machine screws. The Colnago graphics are a black clover on a white oval background with the world strips (blue, red ,black, yellow, green) running horizontally,to the center line of the Black Clover. It does not say Colnago but is just like the Colnago graphics from the 70's The words: MOD.BREVETTATTO MADE IN ITALY 46 Are in raised letters on the plastic sole. The shoes remind me of the Dietto Piettro's(ventilated leather uppers with plastic sole and plastic cleats) I rode across the U.S.A. Totally comfortable!!! I had my local shoe maker add a small rubber heel to the shoe(the Dietto Piettro's) to aid in walking with the cleats.

As much as I hate selling these shoes they do not fit me. I wear 11.5 in Red Wing work shoes and a 44.5 in Carnac Lemonds (off topic). I'm guessing that they should fit someone who normally wears a size 12 American Size shoe. These are the shoes that David Cowie had for sale a while back on the list. They are probably from the 1970's and are in perfect shape and still have that new in the box "smell" of leather (no kidding).

I'm asking $52.00, shipped and insured to the lower 48 states ( Continental USA),for these NOS, NIB, "Colnago graphics, Made in Italy, cycling shoes These shoes will not disappoint!

Yours truly, Martin Walsh in Vienna,Va. 703 255-6545

P.S. David told me he has no more of these particular shoes. PPS David Cowie I'm trying to contact you and my e-mails are bouncing back.....Check your CR e-mail box please.
