The Story
The Colnago Super stands as an indisputable titan of Italian cycling history. This late-1980s Super Chorus is a premier showcase of master frame craftsmanship, finished in Colnago's iconic "retinato" (net / honeycomb) blue-and-white fade paint scheme, elegantly complemented by fully chromed front forks and rear stays.
Crafted from legendary Columbus SL steel tubing, this machine delivers the stiff, responsive, and telepathic ride feel that made Ernesto Colnago’s creations legendary in the pro peloton. Outfitted with a complete first-generation Campagnolo Chorus groupset, it features one of the most sculptural component designs ever made: the breathtaking Campagnolo Monoplaner brake calipers.
The build is enriched by exquisite pantographed details, featuring a black 3TTT stem bearing crisp "Ernesto Colnago" script paired with a lightweight 3TTT Superleggero handlebar. Completed with a classic leather Selle San Marco Rolls saddle and Campagnolo Lambda Strada tubular rims wrapped in fresh Vittoria Rally tires, this Super Chorus is a quintessential piece of late-1980s Italian racing heritage.
