In my covid slump upon hearing the news of another covid extension in Ireland I decided to treat myself.
Managed to pick up a very beater colnago which I'm buzzing to get built, sorry merckx, plan is to switch over all bits on my daily bike and ride this until all the paint flakes off and then eventually a powder coat and new decals but that will be a while!
Good things are its straight, no dents, headset seems good and it's my size! I have a bit of a thing for buying bikes too big or small and trying to make them fit me.
Bad things is the paint, the guy I bought it off said the bike actually doesnt have that much use just the paint is shite and flakes and bubbles everywhere. I kind of like it though, excited to put some miles in and see how she handles.
