Very nice and also a bit unusual. A little on the pricey side but still very nice....Rob74 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2025 1:29 amhttps://www.gumtree.com.au/web/listing/ ... 1306894798

If I hadn't recently acquired a 'real' Kuwahara I would be very tempted.

Most of the components look original.

That Teruzzi looks nice, even with the rust etc, just call it 'patina'. I'd happily buy it at that price if it was local to me.P!N20 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 1:40 pmColnago for cheap*: https://www.gumtree.com.au/web/listing/ ... 1331036236

I quite like the idea of an incognito Colnago. Turn up the bars, tie a milk crate on it..P!N20 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 1:40 pmColnago for cheap*: https://www.gumtree.com.au/web/listing/ ... 1331036236

There you go - a brand that I have never heard of !feelthewheel wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2025 8:31 am^ Yes, I liked the look of that Teruzzi - but I suspect the forks will need re-chroming and with the rust on the frame (plus looks like it's coming out around the lug brazing) the inside of the tubes might also be suspect. Pity, as it's a rare beasty in Australia.
Interesting in so many ways.
Equipment looks classic early ‘80’s Campagnolo or Zeus. Frame has internal rear brake cabling- which I think only became the go on top shelf racing bikes at the end of the’80’s.
Cheers

Gosh I sometimes loath Facebook and its sellers. I contacted Matey, said I'm keen to pay a deposit to get foot in door but wanted photos of hubs and head tube……yeap will get them was reply.
Now sold, anyone here???
I have many old programs from the Essendon Board Track events, was going to try and find sellers dad in there (it was his dad’s bike) and give him a program if he wanted. But here i am whingeing.
