SARONNI by COLNAGO Super Record 1984 – SOLD

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. 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.

Italian cyclist Giuseppe Saronni was one of the best riders in early 1980s, riding for Del Tongo – Colnago Team. In 1982 he won the World Championship in Gooodwood, England riding Colnago Nuovo Mexico which was just launched. In 1983 Saronni won famous one day classic Milano – San Remo and Giro d’Italia. He became very famous so like many other Italian cyclist he started to produce his own bikes in collaboration with Colnago. Most of Saronni bikes were middle range compared to Colnago Sport bikes, so simple steel frame with Saronni decals. But only some of them were special…

 

Proudly presenting another legendary steel racing machine from Cambiago – SARONNI by Colnago, which dates back to 1983-‘84, shinning in outstanding Saronni paintjob. Special mix of Colnago and Saronni pantographs makes this beauty even more outstanding. The frame is made if Columbus SL tubing, (actually very similar to Colnago Mexico) and built with iconic Campagnolo Super Record groupset, 3ttt cockpit and Mavic SSC rims. There is many Colnagos in Saronni paint on the market but only this one is the real SARONNI. The Saronni’s just get better with age, same as fine wine…

Extremelly rare! Love at first sight. For all Colnago enthusiasts. L’Eroica read.
