Colnago Owners / Info / Appreciation Thread

Massive fan of the Rabobank C40....hope you have some dry enough roads to enjoy those tyres.

1) sounds like Sarroni red super circa 82-88, there were masters in that colour as well
2) sounds like a master olympic or pui, i think 91 onwards all had internal routing, team isotar/panasonic master rocked deltas in that era

mine Colnago Master, mainly with c-record, but still much to do/buy

a fine '80's model!, there was an '80s del tongo team master for sale a while back

Seen this in the flesh and it's lovely... good work @bogi

Update on my Colnago. The rear wheel is temporary. I am open suggestions.

fine whip!
had a few hrs on the c40, IT IS ALL THAT!

Thanks @saarf

That is lovely! I saw it listed and yes you sure got a bargain there. Bar tape is a huge improvement. I think if it were mine I'd opt for a black saddle but that's just a personal preference. I like the look of the thick bladed spokes on the ksyriums, it's a very unique look that just goes with the right bike but not with others. Open Corsa tyres look good too.
Now I know I need a C40 in my life!

Thanks @JusCos, I was surprised to get it and then to find it in pretty much perfect condition was a bonus to say the least. Yes, without doubt you need a C40 in your life!

Thoughts on this guys? wondering if anyone knows potential year/ authenticity etc etc...
Was worried about the 3 cable guides but i've seen a couple of Supers with 3 on my internet trawl.

Seat stays and bottom bracket shell look a bit odd to me. Didn't a lot of the Sprints have 3 cable guides?

My thoughts too. I've asked for more pictures to see whats going on.
It's at £78 at the moment...

no clover cut out on fork crowns, forks look original to frame, the seat stay caps are unstamped, i'd say it's a wrong un

Mmm I'm bailing on it!

"too fookin' right laa"

hi folks, figured this might be the correct thread in which to post this. Just wondering if you all can id the year & model name for this one?

poss circa 82 mexico /super?

haha ok thanks saarf. so there is such thing then as a Mexico/Super? I thought they were two different models, but info seems fuzzy on the subject with just a quick search around the net. much obliged!

no, there is no such thing as a mexico super
it is either a mexico or super
mexico's a lighter than the super, only way ascertain is to weigh
if the seat tubes caps are filled or rounded the it is a circa 84 super, as the mexico of that era was the nuovo mexico

ah ok, thanks. would love to find out more, does this pic help?

Certainly looks like early 80's.
TT cable guides and 'Colnago' stamped on seat stay caps. @Saarf means it could be a Super or a Mexico. Decals look earlier though. Repaint?

agreed, with the hollow stay caps it's circa 79-83, the 84 catalog shows the super profil and models have rounded, stamped stay caps
again re respray, i cannot see if drop outs are og chromed, if not, frame probably been re done, but sympathetically, so looks ok

pics of (minty) drop outs attached...

probably a sympathetic respray indeed. reckon it's well done though, so I'm not going to complain
