let me add a bit of catalog material

First of all some pages from an catalog from Velo Sport Bozen (Bolzano, it seems that this isn't existing any longer) from 1989.
This has a nice overview of cool italian MTBs from that time

Colnago Ad

It looks like those guys had been a bit jealously looking at the nice image of the US MTB brands

This brochure page is very likely anyhow know by everyone interested in Italian Bikes

A bit newer stuff, but I personally was very impressed not just by Luca Bramati's performance, but also by those yellow Colnago bikes (with very nice fitting suspension forks)

which frames are these? The strange thing is, the top is obviously a year or so before the bottom one, but the frame has a more modern look!!

i do not know, but most likely those are Master or Ibex frames, those look at least a bit similar.

There is a similar on sale in Italy
