Colnago Owners / Info / Appreciation Thread

I’ve traded a lot of Colnago frames in past few years let me know if I can help @Johnnyw75

thanks for the offer @Zed I'll let you know

It's up for £1500 but I think it's been hanging around for a while... hopefully going to see it in a few weeks to purchase... to be on the safe side, I've aslo emailed Colango re the frame number just to make sure it's legit

Soooooo, it looks like the frameset I've been looking into buying isn't a 52s afterall... it's a 54s. Colnago emailed me this morning letting me know it is a legit frame, but not the size I was led to believe it is. There's still a great looking black 52s on the bay, but it's a full bike and £3,750 which means I'd have to sell my bike before I can even think about buying it... frustrated to say the least but glad I've found out before I bought it.

Oh well. Keep on truckin.

@billygoat28 if you're keen on the carbitubo and 52 is your size

Happy with my colnago master.

Spent a lovely afternoon putting a few bits on a new c40 for my gf. Just can’t get enough of these frames and I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out so far. Seatpost is from my other bike.

The small wrinkle is she has very little interest in cycling long distances for pleasure. I’m somewhat optimistically hoping that switching from a chunky alu Pinnacle to some svelte Italian carbon will make the difference but if not, at least I had fun putting it together…

That's georgeous. I hope she plays a nice Italian primavera on that piano while you assemble this fullbred. Be careful with that long stem though, that might get in the way of enjoying longer rides.

Yes you’re definitely right about the stem, it was just the one I had on me. She actually doesn’t know about this yet so there’s been no fitting done (nor any piano accompaniment!) so ultimately it’s going to look a bit less race-y.

I really need to get some carbon wheels for my c40, that looks great, colourway is banging looks in great condition too.

Could be interested in the 54s if you don’t mind padding in the details ;-)
Might also know of a 52s C60 for sale
Grey lugs with mat carbon

I’ve just had a quick look and it looks like the 54s has gone and yea, I’d be interested in knowing more about the 52s

I’ll send you a PM

A friend of mine is also thinking of letting his Mexico go
Think it is a 52

Please let him put the rear brake cable over the front one. And a chain. And fix that front skewer. And that bot... nevermind.

Finally got round to getting my C40 built up. Photos from my LBS.

Top quality! There isn’t a frame those EEs would look better on

Lovely

I agree needs some finesse

If you see a massive bloke clattering about the place on this, say hello!

...and PS, I'm having a Colnago Super done, so of anyone has a fork with a 235mm+ steerer, drop me a line!

Very nice

Lovely. Certain things remind me of songs or catchphrases that then get stuck in my head. I'd be singing crocodile rock while riding round on that.

🤣🤣 now you've stuck that song in my head!
