Colnago Master

[sdg71]

imho this fork had a curved fork not the straight (named precisa) one...

Joop Zoetemelk won the worlds on Colnago in '87. I would guess that the 10 worlds equates to pro championships?

quickly looking back at world champs, from '89 there were Joop, Saronni and freddy maertens (81?) I had a lovely poster of him resplendent in his rainbow jersey and colnago.

there were also a pile of east german and soviet winners who rode Colnago's, so probably includes them.

'Colnago collaborated with Ferrari in the year 1986. The next year was the birth of precise fork with straight blades. Colnago by now was representing Italy in the world bicycle market. The 1990 models would be showing the Italia 90 logo to commemorate the football world cup in Italy..'

hope it helps....??

yup it's certainly a late 80s model and a good guess by one of the lads when he mentioned joops win. one of the guys in a local road club bought a blue and white master with the gilco tubes and straight forks and i reckon that must have been around 1987.

a smasher!
