As per title, I'm after a 62cm-64cm steel Colnago frame. Rear OLN needs to be 130.
Many thanks.

type colnago in "søg" if you want help let me know. This and the Netherlands are the land of giants.

Here's two in Holland.
Google translate is your friend in this case.
Retrobike has an active Dutch contingent who are very friendly and speak perfect English. They have set up bike/parts collection network and may help you out.
Why does it have to be a Colnago? ebay has some really nice large De Rosas at the moment.

I think both those Supers will be 126 rear OLN unfortunately. As for the De Rosas, they do look nice...but I'm after a Colnago frame.
the search goes on...and on...and on.....the world seems full of short people!

Lewisfoto...tell me more. I've heard of it, but what does it entail? Gios offered to do it for me once on a Torino, but I backed out.
Actually a professional frame builder can do a much better job for about £30 since he will have the right alignment equipment, but for those of you who are a little more brave...

About a third of the way down the above linked page the process is described. I have done it once and had good results using the board technique described. Keep in mind that you are only moving the drops 2mm on each side so subtlety is the key...
