This is my last Colnago, and is the most highly coveted and sought after of
the lot. This beautiful Colnago Master frame measures 56cm from the center
of the bottom bracket to the top of the top tube, or 54.5cm from the center
of the bottom bracket to the center of the top tube, with a 55cm top tube.

The frame has a gorgeous purple, green, and white fade paint scheme that
reminds me of spumoni! This frame was made in Italy of Gilco Designed
multi-shape tubing designed especially for Colnago by Columbus.

The frame has the Colnago ace of clubs pantographed into the top of the seat
stays and bottom bracket shell, bottom chromed head tube lug, and brake
bridge stay. The bottom bracket shell is a Colnago design (looks much like a
Cinelli bottom bracket shell) with the word COLNAGO engraved into the bottom
of the shell. The lower headtube lug also has COLNAGO engraved in it. The
lugs on the frame are fancy and ornate...very nice touch!

The straight-bladed chromed 1" threaded Colnago fork has the Colnago ace of
clubs pantographed in the top of the fork crown and the word "COLNAGO"
pantographed in the side of the fork crown. The head tube lugs, drive side
chainstay, and rear dropouts are chromed also.

The rear spacing is 130mm, head tube length is 131mm, and the fork steerer
is 1" threaded. This frame has adjustable rear horizontal Colnago dropouts
(screws not included), braze-on front derailleur tab and down tube shifter
bosses, two sets of water bottle bosses, and the
rear brake cable is routed inside the top tube.

There are no dings or dents.this bike is in wonderful condition. A
nine-speed Shimano Ultegra wheel fits perfectly in the rear dropouts. There
may be a few very tiny marks from being in storage for 15 years or so but
you would have to look for them to find them. The chrome on the right chain
stay, head tube lugs, and fork is shiny and bright. The frame has been
completely treated inside the tubes with Boeshield T-9 rust prevention
spray.

$850 professionally packed, shipped, and insured to the lower 48 United
States. Includes a Colnago catalog and collector's pin. As always, lots of
nice pics available for
free.
