Grant,

Crap, here we go; it's eBay all over again. How about I strap your sorry ass to the RACK and stretch you to a 56cm? How would you like that? Think if it, you could reach the dishes in the top cupboard without climbing up on the counter!

OK, clowing over. Lunchbreak finished. Before Dale gets pissed.

Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA Don't tell me the KK fungus has reached Canada! Don't you have safeguards against that? Besides, I'll match any amount of artificial Canadian KK's with real American ones. Neener neener!

I wondered about that also, more from the perspective that we never see early Colnagos. Much of the answer is in the interview, I believe. First, most of what Colnago built did not have his name on it. Secondly, he seems to have spent more time as a mechanic than a framebuilder in the early days. I'll give anyone, I don't care who they are, $5 U.S. DOLLARS!!!, yes I said $5 crispy one dollar bills, for the first person who turns up a genuine pre 1965 Colnago frame MY SIZE. No, I'm serious! I've been saving this fiver for something expensive and special like this.

So, you guys have your assignment. You can't afford to pass up my offer. I'm DEAD serious, I will pay the $5 for the frame, yes, JUST THE FRAME!! If you turn up the whole bike, I'll make it $10 samolians!! CASH!
