FS: Colnago C94 56cm Frameset

Good Afternoon dudes and ladies,

On sale is a ~1981 Colnago super frameset.

Frame features really crisp clover pantographing, braze on front derailleur mount, super clean rear brake internal cable routing on the top tube and campagnolo dropouts.

Frame has been repainted at some point but the over all condition of it is pretty good considering its age. It's been dry stored for a while so rust is fairly minimal and repairable I would say.

There's also the lovely original brass flat head bottle cage bolts included that I've highlighted in the photos - very kewl.

The frame comes with a campagnolo headset and Centaur bb.

Asking £200. A

EDIT: Thanks to the knowledge shared by forum members, they have identified that this is in fact a Colnago C94!

Want want want can’t afford life’s so unfair.

If these 3 guys can be dating 1 Megan Fox and 2 Kardashians more than u then you can afford to pay for this Conago Super frame. (Sorry in advance for the very obscure meme reference if you don't get it)

Nope, went right over my head that one.

lol

Cool frame, cool price

Ha ha!

Thank you from saving me from my own cringe

Are you sure it's as old as 1981? I'm not an expert by any means, but internal cable routing in the top tube was a later innovation as far as I'm aware.

Cool pink trousers 😎

Hot pink trousers, shirley?

damn... I dont need it but it's very nice! GLWS

Im taking a wild guess as I could only find models from 81'-ish with the same bb shell, but I'm not a connoisseur so I'm open to alternative suggestions of when this might be from!

Look at you with your fancy book tool wall . Seriously, nice looking frame for someone ..

No cloverleaf on top of seat stays or brake bridge and no serial on dropout either? Sure this is a super? Lovely anyhow....my size too.

Has some hallmarks of some Colner frames I've seen, but clover instead of spades. Considering colner is colnago, makes it colnago enough I would think.

@Jeromeo Unfortunatrly the tool wall is an asset of the shop where I work in Lewisham, maybe one day though 💭

@Foreigner65 you seem to know your stuff, what do you reckon it could be? A quick bit of searching led me to believe it was a super based on a few similar traits, mostly regarding the bb shell and cable guides, I'm open to it being whatever, maybe even not a colnago???

@Chellis88 very interesting... colnergo maybe? 🤔

I'd say it's a C-94.

This is a similar example of a Colner:

The lug shapes are the things I notice the similarities with (except the club cutout)

The bike seems likely to be have been made by colnago for colner.

Saying all that the cutout could be from martelly which did some clever pantos: https://saarf.london/2013/02/19/how-to-spot-a-fake-colnago/

I had a Colner and this is not a Colner. Why should it be a colner when the rear dropout says Colnago? Have a look here and you'll see yours is a C94.

Wim @WimVDD is bang on the mark. That's for certain a Colnago C94. No doubt whatsoever. At first glance I thought it was a Super 91 but the BB shell has the brazed on cable guide, the Super 91 had a plastic guide but otherwise very similar with the 'not so fancy' head tube lugs and the visually apparent 'almost' wraparound seat stays. A proper Colnago frame for £200 sounds like a great deal to me 😊

That looks more like it! A pal of mine had a c94 but it had the 3 prong colnago lugs and the little commas on the head lugs as well. There was a later version as well c96?

Maybe my pal didn't have a c94

@WimVDD @Chellis88 @JusCos It's truly impressive how well you understand the nuanced details that correlate to each model and year. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

that's probably because @JusCos 's and mine collective collection contains at least one bike of each model Colnago built between 1970 and 2000. 😁

But I must say: right now I only have two left. A Master X Light and a CX bike. All the others (6 Supers, 2 Nuovo Mexico's, an Elegant and 4 Masters) are gone. And some went to @JusCos. 😊
