55cm c2c seat tube

54cm c2c top tube

 

I think I paid too much for it, R10k, but it's in pristine condition, with Shamals, a panto'd seat post and the kevlar saddle is just too nice.

 

weighs in at 8.5kg (so ex owner tells me)

 

The owner (ex) bought it new in '93 and he's not ridden it much. He lives overseas for 8 months, here for 4 and prefers his mtbs here, roads just too dangerous he says. He rides other bikes when he's overseas.

 

My other MO is a slightly later model, has the seat stays going into the seat lug, I think it's a '95. That one I have Record 8spd, with Deltas, I think the last generation, about '94.

 

I need to stop buying Nago's now, I have 8 of them and I'm broke!

Mind you, I need to stop buying bikes, period!

 

6 in the last 6 weeks. Used to be a hobby, then a passion, now I think a COMPULSION!!!

Damn, that's a very sweet ride. Very, very nice. Not easy to get them in such good condition.

6 bikes in the last 6 weeks... Lol and I thought I had a problem...

They say the first step in recovery is acknowledging that you have a problem.... Lol.

Yeah, they really are beautiful and the ride is fantastic, but then I think most of the high end Italian bikes of the 80s and 90s (steel) were like that. But they're all different. My Tommasi Super Prestige has a really short wheel base, so is a real hill climb or sprint machine, whereas my Daccordi(s) have much longer wheel bases and are real 100km bikes.

I've known I have a problem for some time, but it's not helped!!

 

I'm lucky I live on a farm, so have the space, or the storage anyway.

 

I think I've got more bikes that my LBS, I think about 65 know, though only about 20 are ridable, the others in various stages of completion.

Would love to see a pic of area/room where 65 bikes are stored

Built up bikes are stacked upside down in a small room, 4 x 4 m, but the majority, frames, bars, wheels, are in a BIG container, used to be a helicopter hanger (not mine, unfortunately).

Hey heyyou,

 

I'm sure there's more than just a couple on this forum, that will gladly help you with that addiction ... so is there a Nago 58/59 frame taking up more than it's fair share of space in that hanger?

Heyyou, just to let you know that I'm also willing to help. :)

I keep telling my wife that it could be so much worse.

 

I could be:

 

a) a gambler

b) a wife beater

c) a drinker

d) a womanizer

e) fat(ter) :ph34r:

f) a drug addict

g) all of the above

h) any combination of the above

 

Instead, I like to buy. work on and ride bicycles.

 

Doesn't work all the time, though...

 

I'll keep trying.

Very nice bike. Would love to see the colours in more detail.

 

I would be interested in the MO frame if you want to break up the bike?

 

P.S. I pick up my DHC track frame with Zeus dropouts later today after respray. Promise to post some pics before I commence rebuild.
