The overseas supply of these new old stock Colnagos is almost all gone, so if
you have ever wanted one now is the time to buy! This is one of those rare
opportunities to own a legendary hand-made classic Italian steel Colnago road
frame that has never even been built up. Colnago sets the tone by which all
other steel frames are judged, and has a distinguished racing pedigree. This is
a rare find because this Conic is new old stock, never ridden or built up, and
uses the world-renowned Colnago 1" threaded steel fork.



This beautiful frame, circa 1988, measures 55cm from the center of the bottom
bracket to the top of the top tube, or 53.5cm from the center of the bottom
bracket to the center of the top tube, with a 54cm top tube. The frame has a
striking hot pink to mint green fade paint scheme and is made in Italy of
Columbus SLX Spiral Conic steel tubing designed especially for Colnago. The down
tube is custom tapered for this Colnago Conic model. It is wider at the bottom
for stiffness when sprinting or climbing, much like the philosophy behind the
Serotta Colorado Concept tubing.



The frame has the Colnago ace of clubs pantographed into the top of the seat
stays and bottom bracket shell, bottom chromed head tube lug, and brake bridge
stay. The Colnago ace of clubs is cut out of the bottom of the bottom bracket
shell, and the word COLNAGO is engraved into the bottom of the shell.



The chromed 1" threaded fork has the Colnago ace of clubs pantographed in the
top of the fork crown and the word "COLNAGO" pantographed in the side of the
fork crown. The head tube lugs, drive side chainstay, and rear dropouts are
chromed also.



The rear spacing is 130mm, head tube length is 124mm, and the fork steerer is 1"
threaded and 202mm tall (long enough for you to size it for your specific
headset and height preference). This frame has adjustable rear horizontal
Campagnolo Campy dropouts (screws not included), braze-on front derailleur tab
and down tube shifter bosses, derailleur cable guides under the bottom bracket
shell, two sets of water bottle bosses, and the rear brake cable is routed
inside the top tube.



There are no dings or dents.this bike is in wonderful condition. A nine-speed
Shimano Ultegra wheel fits perfectly in the rear dropouts. There may be a few
very tiny marks from being in storage for 15 years or so but you would have to
look for them to find them. The chrome on the right chain stay, head tube lugs,
and fork is shiny and bright. The frame has been completely treated inside the
tubes with Boeshield T-9 rust prevention spray.



This frame will turn heads wherever you go.it is stunningly beautiful! It also
will provide you with a wonderful ride that you can only experience on a
Colnago. Once you build this frame up and ride it, you will understand why
Colnago has such a fiercely loyal following.



$450 picked up in McAlester. Many pictures avaialble for the asking.



Thanks,



Frank
