All things Colnago

Also have this one.  Sorry, bad photo as it's the one from when I bought it and not one of my own.

Cippo beat me to the same questions

Very unusual colour. Respray? Is this a Super or Master. What fork is that?

 

Looks to be a respray.  It's a Conic Spiral and an unbranded carbon fork.

Titanio Oval Master

 

... bought from Mr Rob H.  He's got a nice collection of bikes.

Did you buy it as original or respray?

Tbh, I didn't ask. I just liked the way it looked so I bought it.

Hi guys, I have an older eddy merckx as per my profile pic and was curious to know how the colnago's of that era rides.

I have a 1992 Colnago Bititan with Campy CRecord and an a 1993 Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra with Dura Ace 7400. One it titanium and the other steel, so perhaps an unfair comparison, but at least they both are from the same era and from the very front end of the racing peloton. The Colnago is lighter and more responsive, more alive, accelerates quicker and I think climbs better. The Merckx is much more comfortable and stable, not as twitchy but perhaps not as quick off the mark. If I have to choose a weapon for a 3 hour race, it will be the Colnago. If I have to choose a weapon for a 5 hour race, it will be the Merckx.

Ok, had the same experience with the merckx, feels a bit lifeless under me. Enjoy it as a commuter though and thought that maybe the bikes of those era share similar characteristics.

I have this helmet. Padding is kaput. Do you think it has any value? Can't seem to find anything on the interweb about Colnago helmets.

[Loose cog]

Certainly has value for the collector! Yes, Colnago had various accessories for sale over the years from shoes, clothing, sunnies, watches, etc. Some of these items are now very collectable. 

 

What size is the helmet?

Good question. I'll have to measure it tonight.

[m-squared]

Seems to be a large helmet.  I measured it and it's roughly 60-62cm.

Would be so cool to ride an art decor in yellow wearing that helmet
