ignore the haters above.

I'm not quite sure which model it is, but I have suspicion that it's a Colnago Mexico. They seemed to come with non-chromed stays and those black colnago stems. You are never sure as the previous owner may have swapped original parts. Make sure you find a serial number on the frame - that will allow much easier identificaiton of the model.

The bike looks very good, everything is in quite good condition with all genuine italian campag/colnago parts (some like pedals are obviously later additions to the bike).
I think if you give the bike a major clean and thurough polishing as well as letting a local bike mechanic tighten up the brakes and check the spoke tension and any bumps in the wheels, this bike could be worth €400-600
I think that is a fair price, and I think that is what you will fetch somewhere like Ebay, but don't let it go for less than 400 euros, because there is some value in that bicycle.

P.S. if you decide to sell, make sure you remove the speedometer and raise the saddle height for a nicer appearance of the bike, before taking photos.

Thanks for the reply, Eddie.

I´ll take a look at other Mexicos and compare them with mine once I´m at home.
Hm, you happen to know where those serial numbers usually are?
I looked but didn´t find one.

Any tips on what to use to polish the chrome?

Thanks for the tip with the speedometer. The saddle is only so low cause I desperately tried to make it fit me but unfortunately it´s too large...

I don't really want to get involved in any argument, but the original post did make me feel rather suspicious, and that feeling has not subsided.
It may just be that I have a doubting nature, and nothing is wrong with the OP at all.

Or maybe there is room for some caution, as its known that ne'er do wells have been on here, trying to sell stuff, or get info to
help their sale, from knowledgeable forumengers.

Would be a shame to assist the wrong person. But, it might really be all on the up and up.

You are wrong, but don´t worry. I´ll forgive you!

no Fred, I'm with Platini in this one

Velocio, please check his IP and tell me that he is in UK

LoL, please go ahead and check my IP!

I'm selling mine; and I know what model it is :)
and you saw it when you came round for the tv!

Mind telling me what Colnago it is, if you know?

sorry my friend, but doggy

Why do you think it´s doggy? I doubt I´ll sell it here anyways, since I´m located in Austria/Vienna and shipping to England will be kinda expensive I guess, I´m just curious how much this bike is worth.

I spend a total of 8 hours in the train to get to the seller, that is why I bought it, even though I had the impression it would be too large...

Hmmmm tell us more.....what size is it?

Need to check, will get back to you.

FFS, askthe previous owner - you know, the guy you bought it off?

If the previous owner would know what Colnago this exactly is, I would not ask here...

Hey guys,

finally able to make a Thread. Here we go:

Bought this beautiful bike on saturday for low €€€. Unfortunately it is too large for me, I doubt it´ll help if I change to shorter cranks and it will look crap if I switch tyres to smaller ones... -.-

So, I´m contemplating selling this beauty to fund a similiar bike in my size.

1. I dunno what Colnago modell this is, can someone figure out?
   
2. What is this beauty really worth? It´s in great condition, few light scratches, that´s it.
   
   

Thanks!

Hey there,

registered 3 days ago got amazing 6 posts but still can´t open a Thread?

This is not polo, THIS IS SPARTA!

Zipp Vuma Chrono Carbon Crankset... €1,200 on Wiggle

Wtf!

Haha, that's great.

Does that count as one or two players ?

Was just kidding, we do play regular Polo over here :D

A mate just brought his tandem along and two guys gave it a try.

We did discuss though how to play Polo on Tandems.
You could have two players from different teams on one Tandem or the front guy stearing and the rear one with the mallet (teamwork ftW!), would be kinda funny I guess :D

Over here in Vienna we also play Polo ...

Over here in Vienna we also play Polo...

;D

2 "old" Road Bike
1 Colnago purchased for low on Saturday (still new here, so not allowed to make a new Thread yet, need to know how much it actually is worth, unfortunately too large for me, bah!)
1 Genesis Mountain Bike, not in condition to ride though
2-3 Bikes I used to ride when I was still 10 years and below, guess I should give them to somebody, just wasting space ...

Beautiful!
