My Colnagos from the 1990's seem better to be used as art pieces. My Vitus is really a project bike. It wears my Campy Nuovo Record groupo and 32 hole Ambrosio sew up rims on (Helicomatic hubs). BTW that is because the NOS Nuovo hubs have 36 holes. With NOS ALE toe clips on NOS Nuovo peddles, I must use a pair of vintage Dettos to operate. I sit on a period Selle Italia Turbo with black smooth leather. The cockpit is 3T, and though fun to ride like a Model T, it too serves best as a decorations, or in a bike parade.

I have a magazine article about the Master Bi-Titanio and there are plenty of rumors (russia welding, and flexing this and that on the web). So I'm unclear what signifcance it has as a collectable. The Colnago in Columbus Brain is a great example of steel. Chrome chain stay and lugs. Both have campy Chorus 9 speed, (pre-carbon), and 1inch streering (i.e., no Aheadset) ITM cockpits. Ambrosio rims with groupo hubs for wheels. The saddle is Selle Italia Flight black on the Brain and white on the Ti. I use Look peddles.

I need a couple more posts to upload pictures. So I ask, do I find a museum for them, or is there room on the road today for that discerning and appreciative rider?
