Colnago Master Olympic 50cm small women men’s vintage steel road racing bike – RARE SIZEI am selling this beautiful custom built road/racing bike – comes with all components pictured other than pedals. Specification below. Please note my comments on the paintwork. About the bikeThis bike feels AMAZING to ride. It feels very smooth, solid and fast, with the comfortable yet sporty ride offered by a steel frame built by the Italian masters! It’s definitely more than an ‘about town bike’ – suitable for racing and light bike packing. I’ve ridden it for triathlons and also on a couple of long bike packing road cycling trips in Scotland and Italy. I am selling it because unfortunately the frame is slightly too large for me and so I’ve bought another bike. Otherwise, definitely would have kept it. I am a 5’3″ female cyclist – I think this would be suitable for a slightly taller woman or man. I would guess around 5’4 – 5’7″, but please check the frame sizing before considering purchase.Trial rides also welcome!ComponentsFrame:Beautuful Colnago Master Olympic Decor steel frameset in blue and orange with chrome rear triangle, built in 1991.Rare Colombo tubing with the unusual crimped shapeBeautiful chrome lugs with Colnago club detailing.Precisa (straight) Forks with chrome finish and Colnago detailsSeat tube 50 cm center-to-centerTop tube: 52.5 cm center-to-centerCurrent setup tip of saddle to centre of handlebars is about 45 cm, and the saddle could go a little back or forwardCondition and paintwork: The frame is completely intact with no signs of rust. However there are a couple of significant areas where the paint is peeling off in larger patches to reveal the chromed metal underneath (see photos) on the top tube and one patch near the bottom bracket. Please note that this hasn’t affected the integrity of the frame at all. The paint was already peeling a little when I bought the frame 2 years ago and a few further patches have peeled off since I’ve ridden the bike. You might therefore consider stripping and completely repainting the frame, or simply accepting that more of the artwork might unfortunately come off the top tube with use. (I decided to leave it because the frame is still protected from rust by the chroming, and it seemed such a shame to strip the rest of the paint off when it is mostly intact on the rest of the frame.Other components:Groupset – Shimano 105Saddle – Bontrager inForm Ajna Elite Womens Saddle (RRP 89.99 – like new)Handlebars – 36cm centre to centre.
