Will be like this but silver stem, CK cages, and skinnier crank. Have to order stem and bars yet.
Can’t wait.
Yours will be worth the wait I’m sure

Love riding my master get loads off People Commenting on the looks. You can't beat a retro colnago.

I don't think you can beat a retro Colnago. I've been frantically looking for other options from Tommasini, Willier and Cinelli but keep coming back to it in the Black Art Decor. Unless someone has an Tommasini X-fire frameset they'd like to sell me?

My mate is selling his colnago master frame size 57 for £450 i think he said maybe you can build this up until your new master turns up.loads of paint chips

Thanks but it'll be too big and I'm going to chase mine up next week now my 3rd delivery date has been missed. Mine really should be very close i mean how could it possibly take any longer? £450 seems like a bargain though

Fingers cross for you on the new frame..yes £450 is a deal

Which version he selling? On here?

Its a Colnago Master Olympic.

I had seen that pic online when looking for inspiration on the finishing kit. Was beside a lovely Wilier too
Yellow scheme was my next favourite after the red

Yes thats his other bike

I Spoke to Slane cycles this morning and they're waiting to hear back from Colnago. Apparently 54&55cm frames are taking a little longer do to longer build lists and the art decor painting taking longer still but did agree mine has still been a very long time. Hopefully I'll get a reasonable date by the end of the week. If not they might be able to get me a Saronni Red straight away so I'll see what they say. I was looking for other options incase I had to write this one off and the only alternative i liked that i could possibly afford was the Cinelli xcr but even that is over 1k more than this so i really hope one of the masters works out. All these red ones being posted i do really like them probably as much as the black but the black is my number one as you don't see many about.

If you’ve you heart set on black then stick with it. May regret switching.
Mine arrive here today and is lush. Back in the padding and box until I get the final few pieces to build it

I'm making assumptions here but mine must be nearly ready so yeah i could regret switching right at the last minute. I've also gone all black for the my finishing kit and i do prefer a silver stem and post on all colours of these apart from the black so that'd be extra cost as well.

Just got this today 🙌🙌

How long has it been now?

18 months and it was meant to be 6 😴

Nice one!

Stoked for you mate. Can't wait to see the build pictures.

So happy for you. Looking forward to this...

As soon as it arrives i won't be hanging around getting it built up 😁

Can't wait to see this being built up. :-)

Any update, Nick?

No not really but should be soon. That last 10 day eta email was from Colnago to Windwave. It's going the long way round. Italy, Hampshire, Ireland then Sussex. Hampshire to Sussex via Ireland seems daft but that's where the shop I'm buying from is so probably adds another week onto my delivery date.
