You're right, I have then!

But .................. I didn't know whether or not the AD10 frames qualified as mapei bikes without the mapei cubes?

same decor as ballerini's mapei c40

i think there were two mapei decors before the team implemented cubes
this was the first i believe, mapei gb decor (my mono carbitub0)

I think my master is a pre cubes mapei too but was never sure. Haven't found any photos of the team masters to compare though.

i was told /\ this decor is mapei gb by a fellow member of velocipede salon,here, and i learned of the mapei black from an ebay listing a while back

Yours is a dead ringer for the ballerini c40 for sure. Just add the mud and it's the full ticket.

Thanks! I have a wide smile hearing that.

it's what the fella told me the decor is, i have never seen another carbi/mono-tubo in that decor

closest is this c35,

Me neither.

Old thread from last year showing an unsubstantiated ex Tom Steels Mapei Tecnos in the same decor, no cubes either

C35 is extreme in every way. I love it ....... I think

I dunno, i go to turkey and all the porn happens. Great last two pages chaps :)

Spoke to one of the organisers of "Stalen Ros" yesterday.
Said they were in the last negotiations to get Ernesto Colnago to come and make an "appearance".
Don't really know what that means...

Also is going to be an "exclusive" auction of some collection which includes some rare bikes on the friday before.

if you mean the Dutch one, the main organiser is on here
@erikfox , he's a Gentleman

Now that looks like my idea of fun

You might have spoke to the organiser of the belgian Stalen Ros show. I do the original dutch version and didn't speak about Ernesto

Cheers saarf, it must have been my belgian collegue

Nice one Erik, hope alls well!

was this one yours from the Haarlem ride we did..

or this one?

Yes, that's mine. Respray by my local painter

that was a nice ride

Nice pics, cheers

I am interested in this colnago:

He is a 100% user but I have some problems:

No engraved logos in the fork dropouts
Its definitely a repainted restoration (as you can see from bad paint job in the back drop outs
I asked him for serial but he said there is nowhere listed on the bike
He told me that had bough some frames from an Italian Vendor.
No bumps.

Can anyone tell me the year of this bike?
Or where I can find more information about this pista collage?
Are there any other questions I should question the owner?
