Bike porn

Short wheelbase not quite at ease with slack angles

T4 looks pretty nice in stealth black IMO

super mtb

I know it says Colnago on it, but that's shit. And it's a shit picture.

Actual retro mtb porn:

thanks for your opinion
in my opinion is not shit , it' s a rare lugged Italian mtb pretty much in it's natural state , and very rarely seen on line , a Super , not Master MTB
"actual retro mtb porn"
no , it's just your projection of retro mtb porn

Could you not find a picture that does it justice though?

Because it really does look shit.

it really does look shit

Also, as an MTB, it really is shit. With slicks it would be a nice pub/shopping bike, but those early MTBs simply haven't stood the test of time as nice bikes to ride in the way that old skinny steel road bikes have.

Exactly. Looks like my old beater, except the paint on mine was worth a passing glance

No , because it' s rare

Nothing like that shit lol

Surprisingly nonsensical statement Sherman

from the 1986 cat pdf factory gave me

geo format on said Super appears correct for mtb's of that era

I don't give a flying fuck how rare/collectible/Colnago/well-photographed it is, it just looks a bit........ Halfords.

oooh , i don't give a flying fuck either
lol

Pie plate as well...

seat post clamp upside down....

Make it out of the fanciest steel and lugs you want, still looks like crap and will ride like crap.

There's a reason they're rare, it's because no-one was buying them when across the pond Chris Chance and Ritchey and Klein were making bikes that were actually half-decent. And fussy road bike details on off-road bikes are ridiculous

would like that as a house motto tbf
''FFG4lyfe"

nonsense , please at least formulate a decent argument

We need a 'rare bikes which are neither pretty nor functional, but loved by collectors' thread. Or perhaps not.

m00ts , 1983
master mtb is gilco , not crap steel and don't ride like crap
1986 Ritchey with lugs

you got more chance growing a fringe
