'70s Colnago

[Repack Rider]

My uncle is 91 y.o. He lives on a dirt road, and only rides his Ritchey mountain bike these days. Since he had no further use for his '70s Colnago, he gave it to me with the admonishment that I shouldn't sell it.

I spent more than it cost when it was new, to restore it.

Nice bike to keep in the family

I take it you and your uncle are on the tall side

A proper Colnago from the days when Ernesto wouldn't chrome plate any of the tubes in case the chemicals reacted with the chrome in the Columbus tubing.
