Hey - cool topic. I don't ride anything but I am still trying to get my father in law to give up his 1966 Matchless. I may have the year wrong I know that it is from the last year of production. It's a very sweet cycle!

Ooohhh...I'm drooling over the Colnago. Is that Record Ergo-Power??? 9 or 10 speed cluster??? What size is the frame??? If it's a 55 and it ever needs a new home, I'm sure I could provide one. That would look great on the back of my Vanagon (R.C.).

Just curious.
