COLNAGO Master X Light Art Decor ‘Freuler geometry”, Shimano Dura Ace 7400, 61.5cm (1990s)

Ernesto Colnago was born on February 9, 1932 in Cambiago, near Milan, Italy. At age 13 he entered in world of two wheels and immediately he fall in love with bikes and cycling. In 1952 he founded Colnago and started to work as mechanic for several professional teams. His first big success as a frame builder dates back in 1960 when Luigi  Arienti won gold medal at the Rome Olympic games. 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 response to criticism that Colnago frames were not stiff enough, Ernesto experimented with various crimped-tube frames. In 1983 he introduced their top model ”Master” and the legend was born. The Master was constructed with famous ”star shaped’ top, seat and down tube profile tubing called Columbus Gilco S4 designed by Gilberto Colombo to improve performance. The first version of the Colnago Master was produced in years 1983-87, later Master Più was released. In 1992 Ernesto released the Master Olympic which has Precisa fork, chromed seat-stays ands very successful racing bike in early 1990s. It was available in several beautiful paint schemes.

Here we are offering another Colnago’s masterpiece: 1990s Colnago Master X-light Art Decor with “Freuler geometry” (1cm lugs extensions made especially for taller riders, to maintain the stiffness). Superb frames is made of Columbus Gilco S4 star shapped tubing, build with Shimano Dura-Ace 7400 groupset, Mavic Cosmic 1st gen wheels, Flite Titanium saddle and shines in original Art Decor paintjob.
