Colnago Project

[Nigel182]

Just finished my latest Roadbike Project
It's an older Colnago Frame with

10Speed Campagnolo Groupset
San Marco Regal Saddle
Miche Supertype Seatpost....
Tried to keep it all Italian..

since the Pic was taken have rotated the handlebars up and it now rides like a Dream..... Think this one will be a keeper.

Thats a lovely bike, was going to mention the handlebars but you already fixed that you say Does this frame have the cutout in the bottom bracket shell?

And a big plus - the paint scheme won't date. The flo/neon Colnagos from the 80's have.

I very nearly bought a Colnago in 1990, but I was kitting it out in Dura Ace (total no-no), so I went Columbus tubes built by a local British Builder. Got away with it. The DA kit then was way better than Campag, not as pretty, but was far better in performance.

PS the builder did agree !

there is a cutout in the bottom bracket shell it's not the Colnago Logo and the Gear cables run through it.

Lovely that, although if I may say, it would be even better with some handbuilt 32's. If you're asking me. Which you're not.

Could be on the wishlist later...

Thanks Dave


Well i'd been told Red bikes were Faster so plumped for a bit more Red to help me out.

Can also say these saddles are lovely saddles, I opted for the lighter modern carbon version in the end after trying both as I found it a bit more comfy.
