상품 설명
Selling my virtually like new Celo Europa SLL / Colnago 60cm frameset I bought new back in the late 1970’s. Phenomenal criterium and road frame that I built up with all Campy Record components. Raced Cat I on it for a couple years before retiring it. Then sometime in the late 80’s or early 1990’s, I sent it to Marcel Calborn in California to be updated and repainted.
Celo Europa was a house brand of a Colnago importer “Marcel Calborn” and from what I’ve read online he may still have a shop there. I understand they were designed by Marcel and manufactured by Colnago in Italy. Also, read that Marcel was the first importer of Colnago's into the US. The attention to detail that Marcel exhibited on the update and repaint is quite remarkable - he even put yellow accent paint inside the little triangle of the front derailleur hanger bracket.
Here are some details:
- Added four female threaded inserts for water bottles on the down and seat tubes
- Added two aero flutes on top tube for running rear brake cables inside tube
- Added front derailleur hanger on seat tube
- Added pin on head tube for securing tire pump (yes, in the 1970s we carried spare tubulars and pump in longer road races and training rides!)
- 1984 World Champion decal with rainbow colors
- Added 9 new decals
- "Campagnolo Brev." fork and rear dropouta
- Columbus SLL tubing
- Bottom of BB has "C" cutout, as well a tiny "C" engraved
- "Columbus" decal on down tube reads "ACCIAO SPECIALI" (Special Steel) and "TUBI RINFORZATI GARANTITI" (Guaranteed Reinforced Tubes)
Some measurements and specs:
- 13cm rear dropout spacing
- 60cm BB center to top of top tube
- 58.5cm BB center to center top tube
- 17cm head tube
- 42.5cm center BB to center rear dropout
- 21cm fork steerer tube length
- BB measures 70mm across (Italian standard)
- All black decal letter trimmed in yellow
There are a few small paint flecks from three house moves and storage over the years (see last photos). Would think they could be touched up with model airplane paint or nail polish.
This Celo SLL frameset would be a beautiful build for any lover ("Appassionato") of classic Italian vintage racing frames for bike shows, displays .... or to ride. Only what is seen in photos is included, and nothing else. I've included abundant photos so please review them closely and ask any questions before considering.
