Description from the seller
COLNAGO SPORT – Vintage Italian Racing Bicycle
English Description
Elegant vintage Colnago Sport racing bicycle, featuring a refined steel frame finished in an attractive metallic reddish-copper colour, enhanced by the characteristic gold-coloured COLNAGO lettering on the down tube.
An interesting example of Italian cycling tradition, with a configuration typical of racing bicycles from the second half of the 20th century. The frame features slim tubing, traditional construction, classic fork and sporty geometry.
The bicycle retains several period details and components that add to its collector appeal. It is equipped with drop racing handlebars with black tape, Universal brakes, double-chainring crankset, metal pedals, vintage rear derailleur and bottle cage.
Particularly attractive is the blue Selle San Marco saddle, featuring decorative details and metal rivets, providing an elegant contrast with the copper-coloured frame.
Several period components and markings associated with Italian cycling production are also visible, including Campagnolo and Universal elements.
