Hi all,
I was lucky today and picked up this frame today for next to nothing. It's a Colnago in my size (60,5 ctc) but I would like to know which type it is exactly. And more: any advice on (and if possible!)on restoring this Italian road queen.
The frame and some details:
Unfortunately, there's a (big) problem with the rear dropout on the driveside. Is this repairable by a framebuilder? And is this a difficult task?
Frame also had some rusty spots (around the headtube-toptube-lug and BB area), which you can see in the pictures below. A quick sanding turned into the results below. Would this pose a problem for a respray? Looks to me that with patience, sanding paper and some sore fingers this won't pose a big problem?
