• I didn't ask Mr Colnago , but spoke to his son Alex and right had Laura , the company does not intend to develop new model steel bikes , nor make any more pistas , they can still do masters in Mapei decor and arabesque re launch
    I just had lunch with someone who is a big deadstock buyer , he thinks there are around 80 tecnos in storage that have not been released onto market during last 10 years , hope we can find them
    my own personal feeling is that the brand should embrace developing and producing steel frame sets again

  • Pity about them shying away from steel, the modern stuff is so good if only people knew.

    I think Colnago are missing a trick there.

    80 missing Tecnos (Tecnii ?). I want to replace the chainstays on my Tecnos which a northern framesman has quoted me £170 to do. Thing is I may never see another one in my size anytime soon (60x58).

    Still pondering it, do you have experience of repaired Colnagos?

  • I have had a steel Colnago repaired , I contacted the factory, and they said go to the wholesaler .
    A lot of frames actually leave the factory naked , for Benelux anyway , and are sprayed locally , so they have relationships with certain companies,
    I managed to bypass the wholesaler and go direct , tecnos is nivacrome , so it may be more costs efficent to get a good builder to do it, if you want to try via wholsaler, windwave is uk, codagex benlux , codagex use http://unlimitedcolors.nl/ , owned ny Ted , who comes from a car bodywork back ground, they sprayed for rabobank, giant , and i saw the belkin team tour bikes being done there , but i don't think they are steel frame builders

    I agree Colnago are missing a trick , who know's ? things could change
    I managed to speak to Antonio Colombo the same day , different kettles of fish
    re custom orders, other houses have embraced this idea , these two German gents stopped got their fames made in max, went to the factory
