The Story
The Colnago Master is universally revered as one of the most celebrated and triumphant racing machines in cycling history. Introduced to showcase Ernesto Colnago’s engineering genius, this early 1990s Master Decor is crafted from legendary Columbus Gilco Profilo S4 steel tubing—featuring the iconic four-sided star profile engineered by Gilberto Colombo for uncompromising torsional stiffness and telepathic handling.
This particular frameset showcases Colnago's unmistakable "Decor" paintwork: an intricate, hand-airbrushed metallic blue artwork combined with lavish chrome on the fork, stays, and sculpted lugs. Every angle reveals bespoke Italian craftsmanship at its absolute zenith.
The build elevates this rolling sculpture into a dream configuration: silky-smooth Campagnolo Chorus shifting is paired with cycling’s ultimate aesthetic icon—the sculpted Campagnolo C-Record Delta brakes. Rolling on a matched Campagnolo Zonda 16 R aero wheelset with ultra-supple Veloflex Record tires and guided by a classic 3TTT Mod. Competizione cockpit, this Master Decor is a breathtaking collector's centerpiece blending pure speed with high-art design.
