Now that I am getting some of these beautiful NOS Colnago frames in, I am
going to have to sell a few to make room in the garage and get some money
back (but I am going to keep a couple for my own use). I wanted to list it
first here to my fellow list members before it goes to eBay this weekend.
This is one of those rare opportunities to own a legendary hand-made Italian
steel Colnago road frame that has never even been built up! The Colnago SLX
Spiral Conic is no longer being made, and Colnago is currently no longer
making any all-steel frames. A Colnago SLX Spiral Conic is difficult to
find, even in used condition. This one is an even rarer find because it is
new old stock, never ridden or built up.
This beautiful frame, circa 1988, measures 55cm from the center of the
bottom bracket to the top of the top tube, or 53.5cm from the center of the
bottom bracket to the center of the top tube, with a 54cm top tube. The
frame has a striking hot pink to mint green fade paint scheme with a fish
net effect at the paint transitions. This frame was made in Italy of
Columbus SLX Spiral Conic steel tubing designed especially for Colnago. The
down tube is custom tapered for this Colnago Conic model. It is wider at the
bottom for stiffness when sprinting or climbing, much like the philosophy
behind the Serotta Colorado Concept tubing.
The frame has the Colnago ace of clubs pantographed into the top of the seat
stays and bottom bracket shell, bottom chromed head tube lug, and brake
bridge stay. The Colnago ace of clubs is cut out of the bottom of the bottom
bracket shell, and the word COLNAGO is engraved into the bottom of the
shell.
The chromed 1" threaded fork has the Colnago ace of clubs pantographed in
the top of the fork crown and the word "COLNAGO" pantographed in the side of
the fork crown. The head tube lugs, drive side chainstay, and rear dropouts
are chromed also.
The rear spacing is 130mm, head tube length is 124mm, and the fork steerer
is 1" threaded and 169mm tall. This frame has adjustable rear horizontal
Campagnolo Campy dropouts (screws not included), braze-on front derailleur
tab and down tube shifter bosses, derailleur cable guides under the bottom
bracket shell, two sets of water bottle bosses, a pump peg, and the rear
brake cable is routed inside the top tube.
There are no dings or dents.this bike is in wonderful condition. An
Italian-threaded bottom bracket spins right in on both sides of the bottom
bracket shell, and a nine-speed Shimano Ultegra wheel fits perfectly in the
rear dropouts. There are a few very tiny marks from being in storage but you
have to look for them to see them. The chrome on the right chain stay, head
tube lugs, and fork is shiny and bright. The frame has been completely
treated inside the tubes with Boeshield T-9 rust prevention spray.
This frame will turn heads wherever you go.it is stunningly beautiful! It
also will provide you with a wonderful ride that you can only experience on
a Colnago. Once you build this frame up and ride it, you will understand why
Colnago has such a fiercely loyal following.
$600 for the frame and fork with professional packing (all tubes covered
with pipe insulation, dropout protection, bike box) and insured shipping
within the lower 48 states.
Several pictures available for the asking.
Thanks,
Frank
