Colnago Owners / Info / Appreciation Thread

Ah yes that's clearer and makes perfect sense. My pal I bought the frame from has an ESA. He wasn't sure which of the two to keep but the Mexico held more sentimental value to him and I was grateful he let the Master go

@JusCos - that's the Master I meant, indeed. Tried to take a picture but the black stays don't allow me to catch the crimpings in the chainstays. I checked the resprayed first gen Master (the Rabo-coloured one) and it has the crimped stays too:

they look a bit like this:

got am nos omega v/chorus wheelset for my esa, black panto itm stem bars, grey,black white pelten shade wrap

That's pretty much nailed the shape of the stay @WimVDD. I like it, a nice touch. Be nice to see a complete picture of that Rabo respray.

That ESA is gonna be special. I like the Omega rims, have a set on an Alan. Only thing is I don't ride it much for fear of wearing down the braking surface. A side effect of nos stuff I suppose.

Would appreciate some guidance with this. I have a good idea what it is but not 100% sure as what I've been able to find so far online is a bit sketchy.

I think it's a Super sprint circa '88. Looking at the '88 @saarf catalogue scan and assuming there is some hierarchy to the catalogue ordering I guess it sits below the Super in the model range?

Found this thread useful but not conclusive

Same paint scheme as the Superissimo SLX but not that of course but sure looks like the Super Sprint. What do you reckon?

i'm inclined to agree and say super sprint

Thank you. Your opinion is much appreciated.

Yesterday spotted in Antwerp : a museumpiece completely ruined:
Ludo Peeters'Mexico superconfex . Owner bought it for 50 euro , seller asked 100 he said , but he found it too much... Cobalto brakes (" yes i lost those blue stones , no big deal ....")
A beautiful Altus derrie and top of the bill drilled holes in the seatstays to attach a mudguard....
My heart was bleeding....

tsk...purple bars

It matches with green !

thanks!

bringing this back today, feels fun riding into the ship

Just payed a visit to the local LBS, guys had a Colnago Carbon Volo frameset sitting on the ground..
Never seen one in the flesh, absolutely stunning!

Looking good
