I just saw on their website that the "T" series (the ones with clutches) are designated as 1x only, it's the "A" series that is for 1x/2x/3x, but they don't have a clutch...

    Dealing with reluctant measurers..

    Is it that they just don't want to, or have no idea? I have sometimes just asked for bb-saddle tip, saddle tip to bars, and BB to bars. Only works if a complete bike, but gives a good idea of if I can make it work

    Colnago Precisa Forks, Salvageable?

    Hard to tell from the pics - depends if the chrome has flaked off, or it it's just rust growth outside the chrome. Need to see what's under the rust, it might be salvageable
