Another beauty of mine. I never had time to build it up, and someone else needs to show her off.

Isn't she gorgeous??? That chart is the closest I've seen - obviously, a traditional/non-sloping geometry. The only difference is that the headtube is 100mm/10cm. The seat tube is 51.9cm (c-t)/50cm (c-c) and the top tube is 53 c-c. Feel free to ask any questions - I would much rather this bike went to one of the ladies of TE than to a random stranger!

Oh! Be still my beating heart! I have wanted a pink Italian bike since 1984...alas, I fear this one is too large. People, this is a beautiful, classic bicycle. Who needs carbon whoopsies when Pink Calnagos exist in the world?! Pedal, you have provided a ray of sunshine to my dark days. (But it's still too big )

ETA: those lugs! Wow!

Muirenn, I think this bike would be a great addition to your expanding bike family. Your Pinarello needs someone to converse with in its native language!

(Pedal, if you happen across one of these--or a DeRosa or a classic Merkx--with a 50-cm top tube, um, just let me know, 'kay? I really should keep my mouth shut!)

Um, I shouldn't ask, but is there any chance the horizontal TT is 53.5? (Edit, oh wait. I found it. 53.1?, but is that correct? The chart is confusing).

I really shouldn't ask. I don't even usually like pink. But that thing is hot!!!!

That's not the exact right chart, since my head tube is 100mm. (Hs on that chart.) I just remeasured and the tt is really closer to 53. And, well, it's such a unique shade of pink - fuchsia fading to pink, really.

But I'll look later.

You don't need a new bike - you need a new IT department!

That is a lovely bike - the lugs are lovely!!

I can't say enough good gushy things about my Colnago. It's 11 years old - the Ovalmaster in the Fred Rodriguez stars and strips paint job (when he won the US Nat'l championship and was riding for Mapei). It's taken me through many a brevet, even though it's such a "racy" bike. More comfy than you'd expect - and I bet the steel is even better (mine's ti and super stiff).

*whimper*

Oh, that it's only a little too big for me. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

-- gnat!

Wow, that's a gorgeous frame! Holy cow, I'm glad that it's too big for me or I'd be very tempted.

Now I have to go find something to wipe the drool of my keyboard.

Oh - I should NOT have looked at that listing. Nope. Bad. Can't look again. Waaaay too tempted.

Too big and too spendy for me...thank the gods. It's gorgeous!

Thanks, everyone. It is, if you can imagine, more lovely in person. I've wanted to sell it before, but every time I took it out of it's packaging, I would just be overwhelmed with how pretty it is, and couldn't part with it.

I AM keeping my Ovalmaster - it's a pearly-lavender and just so pretty. Does yours have strange rear dropouts? Mine does - rear-facing so it tends to pull out when climbing unless massively clamped down. He's a very showy bike, so he only comes out for special rides.
