We're dedicated to saving bikes, even when the repair process is extremely difficult. This Colnago c59 came in for a bottom bracket replacement and a fixing of a seat tube that became separated from a lug.

I had the chain in the big front chain ring and shi...This carbon fiber Colnago 50SL chainstay repair came to us after it was damaged in shipping, unfortunately a common occurrence for too many individuals.
