Mike and Paulo at Carbon Bike Repair

Jokes aside, YouTube. The only thing i haven't learnt there yet is a fork and shock service.

Two weeks ago Barney broke his leg, he didn't come back from the doctor quite the same. Build incoming.

The road into Sterkfontein Dam methinks.

I can and a 4th item, possibly the most important one.... Old age I looked at my bike last week and tweaker my back, needles, cups and chiro have so far no helped much.

name them name them name them! Quick, I have to get back to work and can't miss a good 16th century burning at the stake.

Guess who bought a C40 yesterday?

In a way we have that, we can go ride Suikerbosrand (the only place my Colnago's visit these days).

This is just my personal view but the chorus groupset would be a replacement item for me straight away. I'd prefer it with the clean record 10 speed groupset you have on the CT1, or I would source an 11 speed Super Record groupset if I wanted neo/retro, wider gear ranges. The wheels to me don't add much either, old zipps < old Campagnolo wheels. Can't see if that is an original C40 Colnago seatpost but if it isn't, this will impact value too. In the current climate, I think you would have more success selling everything seperately. Colnago fans can get their frames and you will open up your potential market for groupsets and wheels to fans of other brands trying to complete builds. I'd almost kill for that worldchamps frame but risk suicide by wife with this consideration. *all just my opinion/preference, others might see it differently.

While we have some interest here. I have a 57ctc Colnago Master Piu (1989-1990 I think) that needs full restoration. Before I pull the trigger, any 55-56cm Masters looking for a new home?

As Buff said, value is based on market demand. I have a C40, full Campag SR 11 speed, original Star Fork and Seatpost etc. to me it is worth no less than R30k (I paid north of R14k just for the frame a few years ago). If I wanted money quickly, it would go for less, if I was willing to post the add repeatedly and wait for a buyer with my taste in components that wants a C40 with no work to be done, I might get more, in time. Each seller has to decide what they want, and how quickly they want it. My experience has been that if I post a Colnago at a reasonably price and wait, the right buyer eventually comes along - even if I have waited for months in some cases. @madmarc I think you have 2 issues, one is that your frames are 57ctc - if not for this, I probably would have bought 1 or 2 or 3 long ago The second is that the WC edition is just too high for the local market and I think the build kit you have on the other bikes likely works better with it. At that asking price I wouldn't want to have to change a single component, and the price is still high in this case. It is a collectors bike but 40k is also 40k in a very tough economy with interest rates at a peak.

Difference is webuycars actually pays fair value, just sold 3 cars to them and all except one were done at more than the dealer trade in offer.

Don't worry Marc, i don't believe in stress. but I am having fun giving you a go for complaining about no having a personal entrance to your bike park

Taroko is a tenant, M&T is developing their land, there is nice paved bike path that extends from Flamingo to the trail head. If you are only paying in the 40 minute q now that the old gate is closed does this mean you weren't paying before and just skipping onto the trails?

When you have a thing about odd bikes that you can't buy in a normal shop. I now have an Evil Following "The Minion" to go along with the purple and orange custom Pyga named Barney.

Out for a ride at Sterkfontein dam on Barney.

I'm talking about decently specced C40s, not the Taiwanese ***

I see very nice Colnagos sitting forever in the classifieds these days, are we all too broke or disc brake befok?

Too many names for this place

I was bored, made a video: Admin sorry for double post, maybe merge Modder and Taroko threads?

Thanks sparky

Ditto, I'm still riding a bright purple Pyga that some crazy dude who likes pudding shipped to me without payment and then let me pay it off as I sold my old bike off... Karma! Wayne, you deserve to be on the receiving end too, enjoy the C40!

For 35k you have an important choice to make: You can either buy the whole big red bike on the trailer... or you can get half of the puny little self-powered bike on the rack. Economics does not make sense anymore.

I've ridden weekly for most of this year and obviously smell bad or something because I haven't seen it. Or maybe I just ride too fast for it...
