My Master Piu restoration project is changing a little - it is not going to be original.

 

My 3 year old daughter had her second heart surgery on Thursday, a bypass which did not go well she is fighting for her life in ICU only to have to go back in for another bypass in a couple of days, as soon as she is strong enough.

 

This bike will be painted for her.

 

I haven't decided who to work with yet as I am still waiting on the original round of quotes and haven't had time to discuss this with the artists, but I still want to base it off the below paint which I had asked for quotes on.

 

The red is the right colour but instead of the diamonds fading to silver on the down tube I want hearts. Opposite Ernesto's signature I want "Little Brave" and instead of the head badge I want a stencilled heart - something for Mackenzie.

 

Lastly, like the grand tour champion she is. I want the commemoration of every heart surgery that she has beaten.

Excuse the ever so slight off topic.

 

What other ideas do you have for this project?

Ah man I hope the next op goes well and just like the Colnago brand she gets stronger and becomes one of the greatest brands around.

Not any where near as severe as your situation but one of our twins was born with a hole in his heart. The paed was very worried. We went to go see Dr Goven-dragaloo at Morningside and he did all the fancy scans. He confirmed the hole but said all the signs showed he would probably either grow out of it or it would become so small that it would only affect him if he wanted to fly or dive. We went back in March this year and the hole had closed. We were lucky, I hope you will also be lucky. Thinking about you and the family, Stay strong.

She has a large VSD and DORV. Also had a PDA and a small ASD at birth. PDA was fixed when they banded the Pulmonary Artery on the first op and I think the ASD was small enough to close itself.

 

This op was to fix the VSD and tunnel the Aorta to the right place but she now also needs a pulmonary valve replacement and a blockage in the tunnel to be fixed.

Sounds like she’s had a intraventricular repair and not gone the single ventricle route.

Strongs to you and your wife.Once again these kids are incredibly tough.

Anyone else finding it interesting that people in the classifieds seem to think COVID-19 turned their Colnago's into gold?

 

Some of he asking prices are insane.

I hate to see her go, but I'm selling my C64 in the Classifieds. I'm negotiable on the price and think that the complete bike with Super Record 12 speed and Campag Bora Ultra 35 wheels is fairly priced. I'm also happy to split up and asking the following for each:

 

- C64 56S framset including Colnago bars and stem = R48k

- Campag Super Record 12 speed mechanical groupset = R30k

- Campag Bora Ultra 35 wheels with Conti GP5000 25mm fitted = R20k

 

Bike was not used much so everything is in great condition. Happy to take any comments / suggestions / leads.

 

Thanks.
