FS 1973 Colnago 57cm
This bike is too tall for me to ride, but it dropped into my possession unexpectedly. I thought it would go to Colorado, but the deal fell through. It has been powder coated to mitigate the rust that was on the frame when it came in. There are a few pictures in the Huffy + Campagnolo SR thread around post 1871. These are the one left in my camera. I am asking $400 shipped in the lower 48. As always first to respond by PM is first in line. Smiles, MH

Fork crown detail
Bottle cage included
Head tube detail
A dent in the seat tube. Frame is straight and spaced normally for 1973.
It has been prepped for shipping just prior to having a deal fall through, So just need to box it up.

Is it 57 cm center to center or 57 cm center to top?

I measure it at 57 CTC. I have not measured top tube length but it is likely the normal size for the frame-set. Since it is pinned I am suspecting it was a production made frame and the upside down seat tube install kinda confirms that. Smiles, MH
