I should have been more specific as I'd seen 'Wales' in your name-box (whatever it's called) and wondered if you were anywhere near me in the north-west of Wales. I've a pair of XC717 rims laced with DT double-butted spokes to XT hubs (731, maybe?). If you are heading up north then I'd be...

Whereabouts are you, @Grannygrinder ?

Best to post in this thread with a few photos, at least one that shows the whole bike on the drive-side and others that highlight any unusual or interesting details. Also write any info you have about the bike, its history etc.

@SirCrisp Might be worth taking the D175 to a small (one-man-band type) engineering workshop and ask if they could copy it but - obviously - with the correct holes. Certainly worth a shot, keep the bike going. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

I don't know about Colnago items per se, but it would be odd thing to fake, the box at least as it looks well-printed.

Needs a firm price (can have 'or nearest offer' or similar) not 'over £ x'.

If it's for commuting then presumably you'll be on wet roads at least some of the time so it's well-worth having proper mudguards and fittings. A rear rack is also worthwhile for carrying stuff in a pannier, much more comfortable than a rucksack. I'm sure you'll find something, there are loads...

Agreed, they are one of my favourite bikes for their looks. I usually prefer simple, classic, understated paintjobs - rare in the pro bikes of the last 25+ years due to the necessity of advertising and sponsorship - but the Mapei Quick-Step Colnagos managed to look elegant even with the...

Full-on race or more relaxed geometry, braze-ons for mudguards and racks, gearing (3x, 2x,1x), disc or rim brakes etc? Postage required? To Surrey?

Bargain. I'd always wanted one after using them at various places I lived or stayed and was about to buy earlier this year when, by good fortune, I was given one that was going to be scrapped because one of the elements had died. Seems mad but it was cheaper for this place to buy a new toaster...

If you're nearby and after this sort of stuff then, for £55, not seeing the drive-side wouldn't be a big deal. Looks like some decent parts: his 'n' hers San Marco Regal (I think) saddles, both with those useful bags that are becoming harder to find, Zefal frame pump, plus there has to be some...

@chickendrumsticks has braze-ons fot mudguard and rear rack (can't tell if front rack also) so possibly auadax or light tourer? Nice-looking bike.

Very nice. Can you put a price on your ad, please? Ta.

As per Guiness's comments, this is a well-specced complete bike, ready to go. Some really good, solid, classic parts, the pump (I managed to find one in a shop a couple of years ago), saddle, mudguards and brakes especially. I didn't realise the DA shifters are sought-after, I have an unused...

Nice-looking bikes, these. Good luck.

@chickendrumsticks A telegram would be interesting: STOP STOP Edited to add: have just read the advert and the seller could do with some STOPs (and spaces) in the list of equipment. Do people never proof-read their ads or realise that somebody has to decipher the continuous stream of words?

AW or OW are more likely having looked at the photo again and realised the front gear cable is what I thought was the downstroke of a P.

PW maybe. I'm sure someone will be along and tell us all about it. Looks a good frame to my limited-experience eyes: pump-peg, chain hanger and adjusters on rear dropout aren't usually found on basic frames. Probably been repainted, the Campagnolo and Pro-Lite on the fork and ST aren't oriented...

In his photo with the text, he states 60cm x 58cm but in the photo of him measuring the TT he is clearly measuring from rear of ST to the front of the HT, hence his (incorrect)58cm. Even allowing for the angle of the photo, it is pretty easy to see it would be 56.5 C-C, making this a 56 ST as...

Very nice original bike @Claud seeks a new home As mentioned, please post it in the 'Road for Sale - Complete Bikes' sub-forum with a price and a few details such as frame size, are you willing to post etc. Good luck.
