Will be changed soon

Crank Brothers

This was originally a Colnago road bike, a 1988 Super sprint I think. When I bought it someone had had the canti mounts brazed on but there was no rear clearance and the paint is in terrible condition. More info here: http://plusonelap.blogspot.com/2008/01/colnago-done.html

I would SO do this if I just knew the first thing about brazing on canti mounts!

This is a beautiful ride, and must get a crazy amount of hype at the races.

Neat beast

Submitted by abstrait on 10/18/2010.

Neat beast but agree on the saddle. That has to go as it's the main blight on that compelling interpretation. It need to be tossed to the four winds. Not a fan of the stem either but know it's a helluva lot more rigid than any 1A et al. Nice ride. Bet it's a blast.

nice bike!

Submitted by georgecostansa on 03/03/2009.

What kind of tubing, sl? I think the sprint model had "sprint" pantografed on the left side of the bottombracketshell and I cant see that you have that on your shell.

I just bought myself a colnago and I think it is a sprint, but I havent seen it yet=)
I´ll post pictures when i´ve got it and we can compare..

Looks like Cyclomondo

Submitted by abstrait on 10/18/2010.

Looks like Cyclomondo's work, easily traced to ebay, sourced from down under. Sadly, he misses the mark on the "C" via the seat tube decal. It's a shame really. There is another source for decals that get the typography exactly right, this used by one of the painters north of the border in CAN. I believe their name is Velocolour.

Nice choice of components. Terrific job of bringing it back to life. This makes me want a Cyclocross. Do you ride this as a Cyclocross bike?
