My first Colnago too! I think I got a deal too???Any thoughts and be nice I'm now in my 50's!

Very nice.

Score!

Thats a beautiful bike, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Congrats.

Love the color scheme!

Seems like a very good deal to me - modern Campy and Colnago steel for under $600? Yeah, I'd say you made out like a bandit :)

You know, I thought by the mid/late 90's all the steel Colnago models had the straight-blade fork; the one on here is curved. Do you know if it's original to the bike?

Life is too short to go without a Colnago! Happy B'day!

i saw a colnago pentograph on the fork...

^ Yes, that's a Colnago fork, unquestionably. I am just wondering out loud if it was meant for an earlier frameset. I first saw the straight bladed forks in a Bicycle Guide road test of a 1995 Colnago Master. This Decor paint came along in 1996 IIRC. I'm thinking it would include a straight bladed fork.

I could be wrong, of course - I am not as knowledgeable about modern stuff :)

That's real nice!!!! Quite a deal too - seems to be a good time to scoop up some bargins. Happy Birthday!

Happy B’day Dude! I just turned 52 on the 7th and treated myself to an old Schwinn Suburban that I found at the dump that wasn’t my size. Your 57cm Colnago is a perfect fit for me; I think I see a trade happening here.:thumb:

Awesome find! I won't tell you what I laid down for my '78 Super a few weeks ago, but it was an awful lot more than $600! Nice bike, great price.

+1 on freakin awesomenessly fantastic

Happy Birthday!

:thumb:Good job! Happy Birthday & ride it like you stole it

Nice find! That Mirage stuff is not bad, I had it on my F. Moser that I bought a few years ago. Was going to replace broken or worn-out parts by a higher-end stuff, but it's still all original. Just needs a regular tune-up, but that's part of the fun for me.

I've seen the Precisa on these as well.

I thought it might be a Euro model.

I ride with a fellow that bought a yellow nos Technos from a shop in Berlin.

Similar fork to this one.

He asserts both frame and fork were nos when he bought them.

Could be a shop mixed and matched frame and fork.


...and come to think of it, I had a Master Piu with a similar curved fork.

Rode fine if I recall.

Happy B'day!

Happy B-day. Real nice Colnago.

When I bought my Tommasini they had a Colnago right next to it for the same price. Had a cool Champagne paint job and was really nice. It was a hard decision but I chose the Tommasini, only because the paint on it was over-the-top.

I still covet that Colnago. :notamused:

Very very nice, congrats!!!

Really great bike. And happy birthday!

What a neat Colnago you scored there. Happy Birthday to you also. You should visit us in the 50+ forum too. Lots of cross over with C&V these days.

Happy Birthday!!!

Enjoy your Colnago....you did good on the price!!

Nice score and happy birthday! Hopefully my wife see's this thread when the time comes and gets the hint. lol. I like the curved fork over a straight blade model anyday if it's original or not. My Colnago Mix came with a straight blade carbon for but the previous owner installed a curved Orbea carbon fork. Yeah it's not the same brand but I actually like the look of it more.

I bought myself a pretty nice Battaglin last Christmas, and
I hope you get as much enjoyment from your own self
selected present as I have from mine. Nobody knows what
you want as well as you do.:D

I, too, think that's a pretty good use of 600 bucks.

We only pass this way ONE TIME!! Congrats!! :beer:

Geez, nice price, happy b'day to you.

(if I ever put mine up for sale again I sure hope any potential buyers do not look at the final price of that one, definitely below market per my thinking)
