Ex Rabobank team Colnago cross bike

[ededwards]

Picked this up last week, Marcel Duijn's Rabobank Team cross bike, hadn't checked it for size but after fitting pedals (only change) the saddle was at exactly the right height.

Full team Dura Ace (with Shimano decals on seatpost, STI blades and cranks) bar an LX front mech. Cantis are unknown, not Frogleggs, perhaps Spooky, possibly Pauls.

Rode it yesterday over regular route, to say that the steering is direct is an understatement, angles are very steep and toe overlap huge but I guess that's how these professional guys roll.

Not sure but he was a pro from 2000 to 2003.

Another lovely machine for your stable Ed!

He's only angry in the picture because some Brit stole his cyclocross bike

Sorry...

I think he's just p*ssed off because he bent his forks!

Great looking bike otherwise, another top Dutch find.

If only people in here had taste, that'd be BOTM Ed.

The ones who do have taste know though, and that's all that matters

I love it 'picked this up last week'. My LBS has always got lots of top end, ex pro Cyclocross bikes in stock :roll: Sorry.
I am very very jealous :?
