1986 Colnago Super Pista

The Colnago Super Pista is a track bicycle, known for its stiff frame designed for high performance. The Colnago Super Pista was made using Columbus SL steel tubing, but larger frame sizes used thicker Columbus SP tubing. It was Colnago's first production model, released in 1968, and remained in production for over 30 years.
The specific model boasts a full Campagnolo Record groupset and a “retinato” paint scheme. The machine is preserved and all original.

About Colnago:

Colnago is an Italian bicycle manufacturer founded by Ernesto Colnago in 1954 near Milan, in Cambiago, Italy. Colnago is known for its high-quality road-racing bicycles and its innovative use of materials.
Ernesto Colnago opened his own shop in 1954 and began building frames. Colnago gained recognition in 1957 when Gastone Nencini won the Giro d’Italia on a Colnago bicycle. In 1960, Luigi Arienti won a gold medal at the Rome Olympics while riding a Colnago bicycle.
Colnago's partnership with Eddy Merckx significantly influenced the company's success and reputation in the cycling world. This collaboration began in 1967 when Colnago supplied Merckx with custom wheels for the Milan-San Remo race, which Merckx won.
The partnership deepened in 1971 when Merckx joined the Molteni team, for which Ernesto Colnago became the regular bike builder.
Colnago's dominance in the 1980s and 1990s was marked by groundbreaking innovations, iconic victories, and partnerships with some of the most successful teams and riders in professional cycling.
To date, Colnago bikes remain synonyms of Italian craftsmanship and are among the most desirable bicycles in existence.
