Description
Rare Colnago Olympus Mountain Bike | Late 1980s | Campagnolo Centaur Groupset
A truly rare find for vintage cycling enthusiasts and collectors!
This Colnago Olympus mountain bike from the late 1980s showcases the legendary craftsmanship of Colnago — a brand founded by Ernesto Colnago in 1954 and celebrated worldwide for its precision engineering and innovative designs.
In the late 1980s, as mountain biking began to boom, Colnago applied its road racing expertise to the new off-road frontier, producing the Olympus model. Built with robust Columbus steel tubing and featuring a race-inspired geometry, the Olympus stood out for its durability, agility, and unmistakable Italian style.
What makes this particular bike even more exceptional is its original Campagnolo Centaur groupset — an extremely rare and highly sought-after setup. Campagnolo, traditionally dominant in the road cycling world, briefly entered the mountain bike scene with the Centaur group, known for its exquisite machining, high-quality materials, and unique Italian flair. Production numbers were low, making surviving examples like this exceedingly hard to find.
This Colnago Olympus remains in original and fully operational condition — a rare opportunity to own a piece of mountain biking history, blending the artistry of Colnago with the mechanical innovation of Campagnolo.
