and, last but by no means least Ladies and Gents, I'd like you to show some love for the Mutant (frameset circa 1993)

Colnago's are kinda like Pringles imho,
instead of ''once you pop, you can't stop"
it's
"once you ride, you can't stop"

or do I just need the "Colnago's Anonymous" thread?

as expected, saarf wins ;p

Excellent, saarf. Of all the Colnago frames you've owned what is your favourite model for leisurely riding?

Wanted to build this up today but I am still waiting on a front mech, and realised yesterday I am short one 1"spacer. So frustrating.

Thanks, for leisurely riding, has to be the 1996 master

for an all over invigorating ride,errands and transporting objects,
I use the aforementioned Mutant

Cheers, I was hoping it would've been one of the cheaper ones.

i parked next to these two on the left at L'Anjou 2012

a pristine Arabesque


and Master, with Campagnolo Cobalto Colnago panto'd calipers (say that after 3 Guinness)

Always found Cobalto a bit naff but that white Master is luvverly.

That C50 Superlight is probably the one I'd have off you though Saarf.

ahhh, your time will come, young Jedi

If this allows all of Ernesto's creations, are we allowed to sneak in the odd Gloria?

yes please

1950s Gloria Sport with early Campag Gran Sport mechs, Universal centre pulls, Cinelli steel front end and Gnutti chainset. As many of you know, Gloria is the cycle manufacturer where Ernesto learned his trade before setting up on his own.

is that yours?
they're fucking hard to find

close ups please

They are blimmin' hard to find! Don't think many came to the UK and the rest probably rotted away in Italy or were grabbed by US collectors. A few more pics here:
