Need a part for it if anyone's got one laying around

Rebuilt, still has 10sp Veloce gears, I've got a set of Atlanta 1996 wheels coming, slowly she'll be going back to period correct :) BTW in the 90s did anybody make short, riser stems? The bars are seriously low and far away for my riding tastes!

Looking good so far. I have a few suggestions tho: Get some compact bars with a lower drop, mount them so that their top has a flat transition with the stem. The wheels would benefit from some de-stickering and black tyres would look better than yellow ones imo. Hope it still rides well!

I've got some Atlanta 96 wheels coming. I've rotated the bars back down so they are parallel with the stem as the drops were really uncomfortable, and moved the levers up a bit. I quite like the yellow tyres :-D .

Right back at ya

:-) That's the beauty of those AD paint schemes eh, there's never a pair of socks that doesn't match at least one colour on the frames.

If anyone is feeling flush Kimi Raïkönen's bike is for sale...

still collecting, @JusCos ?? :-)

Always @WimVDD but my pockets go nowhere near that deep.

I'm actually selling this one (not my size, just bought it for its panto parts).

I quitted buying. Need to sell some stuff so I can buy other nice things. ;-)

Quite happy these days with the neo retro Supercorsa I built. And will shortly rebuild my Master Extra Lite because I missed it (been riding the Coppi for the Gran Fondo Fausto Coppi but as that was last weekend, I can go back to "normal").

I gave up trying to be 'normal' a long long time ago.
Your Master Extra Light has been my long time favourite modern/retro build. That frame colour, the all black rims and groupset just works so well.

Love the colour of your Super (sadly not the size) I had a Merckx Professional in similar colour but sold it a while back to fund something else. Seems to be mostly how my story goes, something new presents itself and then something goes to fund it. So far there's been nothing I've sold on that has filled me with regret but there soon comes a point where nothing can give and I think I'm possibly there.

That's totally the derogatory colnago owners shot right?

Where Ernesto gifted the Pope a Gold Colnago he gave Castro that one along with a matching Colt

The bike is cheaper

A friend of mine asked me to help him search for a bike with a max budget of 200€. His family lives in Italy so we browsed subito.it and we found a pretty good deal on a rather interesting Colnago Master MTB, presumably first gen and resprayed. The interesting thing about the bike is that it was converted to an electric bike without any major modifications to the frame.

DAmn thats nice

Very very special Colnago "super" pista made by Dutch legendary framebuilder Jan le Grand.
The son of Jan , Michel le Grand send me a message and told me this frameset was made for Australian legend Danny Clark :)
