In 1952 he founded Colnago and started to work as mechanic for several professional teams. Colnago’s bikes still have a domination of the world’s cycling sports because Ernesto was always an innovator and pioneer of new technologies which supposedly provide more efficency or comfort.

In 1984 Colnago celebrated their thirtieth anniversary of the company and Ernesto Colnago wanted to create a bicycle which would be a milestone, both for himself and for the bicycle industry. It was produced in limited numbers. But what makes this Colnago Arabesque even rarer is the Campagnolo Super Record groupset specially designed for the Colnago 30th anniversary which features 8 gold plated aces of clubs (with additional 2 on the frame, so 10 gold plated aces of clubs in total). This bicycle is a wonderful example of Italian craftsmanship.
