I set up the purchase by phone and waited for the bike to arrive to Sweden. The bike was the right size with the original Record 9-speed group, bar the crankset that had been replaced by a black Campagnolo Veloce. I searched online for a 56-58cm c40 in 00F, with Record 9-speed, Star Carbon fork, non-B stay and non-HP, since I think that the rear stays of that model retains the classic elegance of a lugged steel frame, yet made from carbon, while the straight blades of the Star fork gives it a contemporary touch.Īfter a lot of searching, I found this bike advertised on an Italian classified page, located in Torino, only 160km from the Colnago factory. Browsing images and catalogue scans, I identified it from my memory as a C40 in the color 00F. Looking at the Colnago Master, I was reminded of the Colnago that my friend’s father once had. Years later, I had developed an interest for vintage road bikes. But when visiting a friends house, I saw his fathers brand new road bike sitting in the middle of their living room, a brand new Colnago, all carbon fiber with yellow graphics. As a teenager in the nineties, I was only into mountainbikes.
