Thanks, gutted about the factory pics, but the office pic is priceless
I spoke to Alex about my Carbitubo mono, he said it's a very rare frame
I also showed him my 1st gen c40 , he knew Herman Frisson, but said the internal cable routing was not factory spec, none of the c40's in the musuem are fully round tubed, as one of us here mentioned earlier up this thread, so mine is very early
Alex aslo confirmed the Beppe won on a Nuovo Mexico
I asked him if there are any marks to look out for on Gloria bikes from the mid to late 60's which would indicate his fathers hand, he said no, but in the musuem there is a Gloria that Mr Colnago rode and won on
He confirmed my Super CX as original , and whilst at L'Eroica , got chatting with a Californian would bought a nuovo mexico in same decor, same ear , with a riders name, so I'll try to search name and add era to see what comes up

I'm quite envious of your trip to the factory.
I met Ernesto myself once, was in a bike shop in Mendrisio on the morning of the Giro di Lombardia, which was starting in the town. They had some NOS Colnago frames hanging up and my mate and I were checking out a beautiful 1987 (we think) Master, when this small, elderly gentleman came over and said, in Italian, "that's a good one", we looked up and it was Mr Ernesto Colnago himself.
