Description
Bikes from the Colnago Master model line are certainly some of the most recognizable and sought after classic bicycles. They are admired for their extraordinary tube profile and unprecedented ride comfort. The frame is built of special Gilco Profilo S4 Columbus tubes. The profile of these tubes has a special star shape, which makes the bicycle very rigid when accelerating or descending, but allows a surprisingly smooth and comfortable ride at the same time.
Launched in 1987, the Colnago Master Più was basically meant to be an improvement of the Master, from which it differs for the internally routed rear brake cable and for three-point lugs.
Just like the master it has seen multiple use as team bike in professional cycling - which our Colnago Master Piu Team Buckler from the early 1990s perfectly illustrates.
While Team Buckler was a particularly popular team, you do not often come across an original bike with original paint.
Our frame has a custom geometry, a number holder and flies the original SunTour Superbe Pro groupset which Team Buckler used. It was one of the finest groupsets of its time and it marked the pinnacle of SunTour's component development.
The special geometry together with the very original parts make it likely that this bike belonged to one of the older and more famous riders of Team Buckler. At least at the size of the bike everybody would immediately think of Peter Winnen, the great chap who won Alpe d'Huez twice, made it to the Tour de France podium and became Dutch champion.
Anyway, if you are looking for an authentic piece of cycling history, this Colnago Master Più will serve you well.
We gave it a thorough check, so it is ready to be ridden if you wish for it.
