Description
Here we offer you a Colnago Master from the 1980s. It really is great to find an early exemplar in a nice condition as this one is in. The very first generation of the Colnago Master was released in 1984, the same year in which Giuseppe Saronni won the Giro d'Italia - riding a Colnago Master, of course.
The Master was meant to be an improvement of the Mexico which had been Colnago's top model before. It had completely different lugs and a drastically changed tubing.
Any cyclist out there dreamed to own a Master, just like any avid collector nowadays has one in his collection. The frame truly an "evergreen". The tubing - "Columbus Gilco Design - Profilo S4" - has profiled sections and was specifically designed by Gilberto Colombo to improve the stiffness and to better withstand mechanical strain.
The master had a huge impact on the cycling scene and became the most winning rod bike model in the following years.
A top notch frame like this deserves only top notch parts. In this case it is Colnago's best groupset. In the sum it perfects the bike to a union of the best of the Italian cycling world. The C-Record groupset is often is quoted to be the most beautiful one, Campagnolo ever made. And our groupset includes iconic Delta brakes.
The grid pattern paintjob on this Master is very typical for this time as is the corresponding bar tape!.
Our Master is certainly fit for classic cycling events like L'Eroica but also for weekend rides and that place at your wall which needs some decoration with a piece of art.
A superbe piece of 1980s road racing.
