Hi All just had the pleasure of building this one up for a clubmate, it's a Master from around 92-93 I think. It has been resprayed (not sure who did the work) in a fantastic pearlescent baby blue colour. convinced him to go for a retro/modern build, so 10 speed campagnolo groupset and neutron...

Re: forks Mmm, might have to start the search for some precisa forks then... :( running 25mm tyres at moment and have got around 20mm clearence, so could shove some 23's on to help a little. Thanks for all the info and comments - much appreciated :D regards U.z.

so, stripped forks off to double check for damage and cannot find any signs of issue so after looking at some colnago pista details on the net I am coming to the conclusion that this has got some 'track' forks on it. the bike is fairly twitchy but not unstable, can ride hands-off fine :-) may...

Hi kgt been looking at other Master frames and bikes on the net and can see many others with similar clearance on fork/tyre/downtube - also I'm running 25mm tyres so that will make it look tight. frame is absolutely straight - no signs of any issues, same goes for the forks. unless these are...

Re: IRRA12 comes to light! ''Ian's Raleigh Road Ace 12'' lovely attention to detail in the build - cracking stuff :D

Hi Finney Not sure if it's standard geometry for a Master, maybe one of the resident Colnago experts could give some help on this front, but it's a quick turner that's for sure and feels really planted in the corners. Although it looks fab on the cosmics they are really the wheels for my...

Hi there here's some pics on my latest project. Always wanted a classic colnago so started about 18 months ago looking for frame, found this one on ebay. believed to be a Master Piu, it's an ex-team bike from Belgium. Originally I was going down the route of having it resprayed in pearl white...

Re: Chorus Monoplaners and aero brake levers pm'd re the monoplanars

here's mine - bought back in 95 as a frameset and built up originally with parts from my old dyna-tech and a set of vector II's recently rebuilt with a slight 'modern' twist (xtr v-brakes and modern chainset). Still my favourite ride and I will never get rid of her, done countless races and...

Re: Rts team 1993 maybe etc team racers frame) pics and 1st dibs please many thanks

cheers for the comments - been a long 4 weeks of rebuilding in the garage for many evenings, so glad you like it. :D still think longer term I will try and find a more 'period' chainset, but got to say the newer unit with external bearings was very simple to fit and looks quite good - only...

Just finished rebuild on my 95 zaskar LE. I have owned from new (bought as frameset) and this is the second time she has had a freshen up. I know the purists will not like the modern chainset, but I was struggling to find a decent retro set art a sensible price - the original LX chainset that I...
