Vintage Colnago Super Carbone

[Cycleops]

Nothing wrong with these Vitus frames. I think if it was a Colnago they would have put more of a Colnago "stamp" on their work. Just doesn't look like the real deal.

PHL67 nice looking bike. Out of interest is it stamped Vitus on the BB? I think I am just going to build mine anyway and see how it turns out. Getting to hung up on trying to fins out what it is. Thanks for sharing the picture.

Cycleops agree just dropped the fork and it is a Tange. I don't know to much about vintage bikes but I am guessing that if it was a colnago it wouldn't have a Japanese fork.

You would be surprised: there are a few Colnago masters out there made from Tange Prestige tubing. There may have been an agreement concerning carbon frames as well. Sounds like time for some late evening research.

Think I finally nailed it down. I am now pretty sure that it is a Centurion Carbon-R frame and fork.

If anyone is struggling to find info on Centurion Carbon-R this link is great.

Would be interested if anyone has built one recently?

Just finished the rebuild and it's turned out alright. Think I might keep this one as it is a little unusual.

That's a great looking bike, like the mavic wheels, suit it well

 

[Bondsy]

Thanks the mavic wheels are not original fit. Everything else is with the exception of the stem. Was going to swap them out but as you say they work well.

Anyone know of or seen any of this Centurion Carbon bikes in the UK?
