I honestly believe it was meant to be !! fate , destiny , luck , call it what you will . I had been looking for a master for some time.... On here , eBay , gum tree ect ect . Been to see a few missed a few on eBay & cycling weekly free adds then I posted a wanted add on London fixed gear & single speed forum ( don't know why ) just did , there seems to be a lot of old bikes for sale on there , I got a message from a guy on there called Hutch who builds bikes ...
To say he had a master , he wanted to know all my measurements before he said it would be right for me ....
Colnago are a funny size & as so many masters were made for race teams & there seems to be so many different size variations
So I went to see the frame . , after viewing some pictures on line ...
I was originally just going to buy a frame n forks , but speaking to hutch & talking about what I wanted from a bike , I decided on the components I wanted , what would fit & work on the bike ( but most importantly ) what would fit me & with the bike ...... I already had the wheelset (just had to change the freehub body ) & the saddle & pedals were my own . the other parts were sourced at very competetive prices from various dealers & Hutch had some nos retro parts . The result & I think it speaks for itself is " My Colnago Master " It fits like a glove & rides like nothing i have ever owned ! A bike I will keep forever , I cannot put into words the feeling I get riding or even looking at this bike .... A dream come true for me & it fits me like a glove . I cannot thank Hutch enough for building me such an incredible bike !!! An experience that was a total pleasure from start to collecting the bike ....... If anyone is thinking of getting an old school Italian bike . I can not recommend enough ... Website. Retro di corsa .
Cheers Mark
