Comic sans Colnago Master can be the king of the streets... You might want to reconsider the restoration :D

Yeah I would lean into the gangster hood rat paint job. Ultimate pub rat.

you could go to newsagents on your 'nag to buy the paper and not even lock it up. I like the way that sounds.

That looks like a tecnos , not a master
Nice frames & will be a lovely ride once restored

Sorry to disappoint by starting it again but this is actually a Tecnos.
@bellabici keep it like this please :(

I would track down the criminal that did this, find out which mental disorder has and you keep it as it is as criminology art piece (but ask him how he built it originally, there must be gold there as well).

Like Johnny Depp that collects John W. Gacy paintings.

Thanks Guys for help, you are right it is really a tecnos frame! Changed the title ...
I hope can identify the original decor because I d like colour and all titles repainted by airbrush technology, no stickers just on headtube. It looks basic colour was that purple.

Disappointed. Sure it's really a tecnos?

Keep it as it is, gangster road rat

happy that painter could write the text in right order, a "colango" fits on that much better:)

This is the seat cluster on my Tecnos. As you can see, it's not the same.

Thanks but I think there are more kind of frames. This looks the same and also tecnos:

Not arguing , just know it's a Tecnos
& will be lovely to ride
I would get it re finished
:)

Interesting - mine is from 1996. Saarf probably knows when they changed the lugs.

yeah good idea, Saarf is a colnago expert!

This is your finest opportunity to use the @ to call @saarf to the rescue!

Tecnos; Colnago's lightest steel racing frame made from 1995 - 2000. Custom Tecnos tubeset made with Columbus Nivachrom steel, oversize top and down tubes with five-leaf-clover shaping. Chromed three point crown-tip lugs on head tube and Precisa steel fork (when not used with a carbon fork).

The seat stay lugs were both used , i have masters with both type seat stays ,with the later shot in type on a Master Olympic

The Tecnos started with Columbus EL os tubes & changed to Columbus Tecnos 2000 for the later frames

I will try to peel the repaint and we ll see the title under...

This is more like it.

one does not what to say or where to look down to such a scoblesque prop, one is humbled Edward, thanks

later technos btw imho, in greatest blue peter tradition, here's one i had earlier

.....yeah good idea, Saarf is a colnago expert!

thanks, more idiot savant regarding the brand i fear though

yeah, it looks the same coloured Saarf had earlier. the black rat paint scratched, chromium in perfect condition on fork and lugs. serial number 6B991

that is good that the chrome is in such good condition
can you return the tubes back to the original state?
