Colnago Owners / Info / Appreciation Thread

i'd consider getting restored paint wise, as these models with the right components can fetch premium priices

Hmm maybe later, but for now I'm going to keep it as it is, I guess.

Here's a better picture:

Put Campagnolo Chorus 8 speed on my Superissimo.

Someone local is offering me his nago. Can anyone verify its authenticity or suggest a model/date.C94 maybe? Here are some detail shots.

It has a thron sticker on the seat tube with club decals just below. No cut out on the BB shell but various other cut outs. The drive side chain stay is chromed.

Cheers gents.

Looks like a C94 to me. And it has those cut-outs on the head tube lugs, like Jeez's frame above.

Looks a nice find

thanks

my Colnago Master.

Thats nice , how do you get on with the time forks ?

Seem fine. When I put them on I went for a ride and forgot I had changed the forks. Looked down, saw different forks; felt pretty much the same to me.

The Carbonio has been a comparison, but, on those, cable guides was on top of tt

via discourse online, it has been suggested it could be a special build for the mapei gb team...
"indeed...that is an interesting find...i would LOVE to learn the history, since we cant seem to find any history related to production offerings...maybe a one-off special for a Mapei-GB rider?"

it's brand integrity has been agreed upon in other discussions
so no further info on wtf kinda model it is,
has all carbon tube, but only dt instead of two on the carbitubo
the dual was said to have been made with one*or *two dt's...
"Manufactured by Alan, stamped "Colnago" name on bottom of headtube. Aluminum tubing screwed and glued to lugs. Sizing stamped in bottom bracket, no serial number on rear dropouts. Top tube ovalized for shouldering bike on transitions. Dual downtube version also manufactured by Alan for Colnago, with different lug design from the single downtube version." (source)
next I have to contact the factory, and see if they can "help a brother out"
just need a hs to start build, group is da 7401, so torn betwixt a da hs, or chris k 2 nut at mo

DA headset all day.

the wretched stem is going defo
