Colnago Owners / Info / Appreciation Thread

Here's my CT1 Titanio...

Aaaw, that rear derailleur. ;-) But nevertheless very nice bike.

Nice , but agree about the rear mech tourture 😳

Yup, I agree... My poor excuse is that its the chain that came with the bike when I bought it.

I'm looking to swap out the FSA crank to a Chorus one, for a matching groupset, and I'll change the chain then. Although the frame is a little big so, we might be parting company before then.

I think the chain is ok but the position isn't. ;-) Never put it in big chainring and largest cog at the same time.

Yes, definitely change the crankset.

The frame is too big? It has about 5 cm of headsetspacer that can be trown off.

What size is your frame ? It might fit me

Its 54cm square. But, I've no idea if I'm going to part with it yet. :-)

Too small for me but very nice !
You have a few nice bikes :)

Too small for me but very nice !

Thanks. Its in really good condition, virtually no stone chips or paint damage at all.

You have a few nice bikes :)

Oh, and I've just got a new tripod, so ended up photographing four bikes to put onto here in the various threads.

Anyone who can put model, year, tubing on this Colnago? Thanks!

the seat clamp cluster lug nods to post 96 , so I'd say its a colnago crystal model,
but it's really yellow
some say it was an entry level model for the later steel ranges, not really master or technos quality, though i think it's just above entry as there was a model called classic in that era on the bottom rung
tubes are brain
"I owned a lugged steel model called the "Crystal". I think it was a poorman's Tecnos"

im trying to find the paint code of my tecnos is there a list and photos anyplace?

there are some early noughties catalogs on other bike fora which may help

Not for the purists... my freshly built Master Piu with Chorus 10spd, went for my first ride this morning, loved it.

Nice bike!

looks fine to me, well done!

Thanks guys, it would be nothing if it not were for the forks eh Wim 😉 thanks again buddy

what make are the wheels?

Nice colour !

Anyone fancy having a punt on what a freshly restored Oval CX frame is worth (per this thread)?

My hearts been sapped out of the build and might cash my chips before I build it up...

Wish I could say they are something special saarf, but just these:

They came up at a such a good price with the tubs that I would have been daft not to try them, one irritation is the freehub...shimano splined only, so have to run a conversion cassette. They may be replaced with some handbuilts before summer but they'll do me for now

they look good, seem like a good deal!

think one was on here for sale from switzerland a while back at not too mad money
one vendor in germany was asking silly money, the regularly seem to be sold a full bikes with very good spec@ between 4-5k

Rebuild of my '91 Master "Team Ariostea" nearly finished (DA 7400/Wolber Aspin wheels are still "under construction"). Some anachronisms deliberately included: it has 10 Speed DA downtube shifters so I have a bit more gears to choose from.

Decor looks fresh
