Size: seat tube 62cm c-c, top tube 59 c-c. The frame is straight and undamaged, with braze-ons for downtube shifters. Derailleur cables are routed above the bottom bracket. Repainted nicely in California (but I don't know who repainted it. I purchased the frame from Sterling Peters in July 2001 and it was repainted before I bought it. It was assembled and ridden a few times by me and I was very impressed by the legendary Colnago Super ride quality. Though there are miscellaneous small paint chips, and the chrome on the fork crown is dull, overall it looks good. Digital photos can be emailed on request. $425 plus shipping.

2) 1983 Grandis frame/fork. Color: white with gold lettering, chrome chainstays. With engraved logo on head tube, cast "G" on fork crown, gold paint highlights, and 22 cut-outs in lugs, bottom bracket and fork crown. Grandis is known for the excellent workmanship.

This frame was repainted by the previous owner, Ed Kinney before I purchased it in June 2001. I never assembled the frame.
