Just bought a 2nd hand COLNAGO Masters with "10times world champion" decal on it. Steel frame. Desperately need to find out the year if manufacturer. It also have full CAMPAG groupsets on it, a seven speed cassette. How do I find out what model is it? It has CAMPAG logo inscribed all over its parts. The shifters are on the frame itself. A real beauty. Please help.:p

The Master is on their website, so it must be one of their newer CrMo bikes. I have ridden one. For a CrMo bike, it has a VERY nice feel to it. Enjoy it.

Does it say what tubeset? Is the tubeset the 'Gilco' design?

What model parts?

Is it all original parts? If so then the seat and other items may help nail down a year.

Colnago has been making "Masters" since the early 1980s. The latest variation is the MasterXL. The bike is completely sprayed, no adhesive decals. It also has vertical dropouts. I have an earlier version with decals and the Gilco tubing decal Xavier referred to it's probably mid to maybe the later 1990s since it does have 130mm dropouts. I bought the frame NOS awhile ago and don't know for sure myself.

If your equipment is original I'd guess the downtube shifters and 7 speed esp. if they're friction shifting could make the bike as old as the mid 80s. Campy "Synchro" indexing gear could bring the bike into the early 90s but I'm guessing it's an 80s machine.

I'm a bit partial but..... Nice Bike!
