Colnago's I Have Known!

[Canuk]

A thread dedicated to Colnago bikes (or frames) you have previously 'dated'. Ex girlfriends style, with full, revealing photos

First up is the Carbitubo. Not this one but the exact same in Saronni red colour with the gold lining. I bought this on a whim at a real live auction and came to regret it. It was too whippy without the down tube in situ and the only place for rain and dirt to go was straight into your puss!

I sold it a year later, and now I regret even that...

These were designed by Alan for Colnago, and you can see their influence all over the frame.
