I agree with Vintage Velo when it comes to Colnago bikes. All the hand built steel frames of this era have their pros and cons but you can be sure that a Colnago will be quality. That’s just how it is.
Just for balance, I thought the best bits were you talking to camera while riding! I first watched this upload in December, when I was thinking of buying a Super and I've watched it a few times since buying one. Love your channel and I'd say you've got it about right!
Couple of things; That's Super Record specifically, as opposed to Nuovo Record, and the various tube shapes of Colnagos run to many more variants. The crimped tubes were on Mexico models and the Master had Gilco tubing which was different again.
I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos and bike feedback, thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏼 I’ve never been much of a Colnago fanboy but after recently doing a full restoration on a friends old Super, that perception has changed… a lot. They’re truly quality bikes and surprisingly light for the era they were built in 👍🏼
Oddly enough, it wasn`t until I had a good up close look at the Colnago that I started to appreciate the quality, very pleased it rode as good as it looks...
I'm going to look at one this weekend at an estate sale. It's in beautiful condition, and I'm hoping that the people at the sale won't know what they are looking at and I can scoop it up at a good price. Nothing rides like steel.
@@vintagevelos9517 I was going to convert it to fixed gear, but then I found out the campy mob will show up at my house with pitch forks. Going to part out my piaggio ciao so I can get a campagnolo groupset.
@@lukealexander3639 To be honest I`m not a fan of fixies unless you live in a pan flat area, even then you just loose to much of the "soul" of a vintage bike, Dan
Colnago good of course but not THE benchmark ( there is not one) Gios, Mercks, Bianchi, Botechia, Moser, Olmo, Raleigh, Gazelle, Gitane, all make or made superbly handling bikes, the list could go on.
Your right, there are many bikes that compare, but Colnago Supers are pretty special. Here`s an example of what I was getting at - a friend asks for advice on which vintage bike they should buy - you say, maybe a Bianchi Specialisma, they are awesome - the friend shows up a few weeks time with a Japanese made Bianchi thats creaking a bit... If someone asked me what vintage race bike they should buy (and I get asked quite a lot), I could say Colnago Super with confidence (though its not my favourite...) and if they rocked up with an ally Colnago it would still be pretty cool...
I have one of those. Sorry to point out a mistake in your commentary - I think that bike is equipped with Super Record not Nuovo Record. You need to learn how to edit your videos too.

Many thanks, good to hear - its all about the bike at the end of the day, Dan

Darn it, correct, Super Record...
@@vintagevelos9517 Haha. Sorry, I'm irritatigly nerdy.

I have a 86 colnago super. Fantastic
Yep, they are great bikes - taking the Super head to head with the Zeus 2000 soon, Dan
Great channel,great content.Love the bikes and the locations.
Glad you like the videos - loads more to come in the new year, Dan

Fingers crossed, good luck, Dan
Hit us with a Masi and Cinelli from the early to mid-70's.
Always more to come...
the Rolex watch of bikes
I just started building my first road bike, i purchased a Turri by Vanni Losa.
Nice bike - whats the plan? Dan

I wish I could find a vintage colnago like this. I’ll ride the wheels out of it.
Yep, hard not to ride hard...

Tommasini! Would love to find an old frame.
Cars honk at you in just about every video it's surprising since Europe is so bike friendly, I guess there's exceptions everywhere.
The period helmet has a chin strap - always done up when riding
@@vintagevelos9517 yes I did see it. Back then they were made from real leather.
I have one of those. Sorry to point out a mistake in your commentary - I think that bike is equipped with Super Record not Nuovo Record. You need to learn how to edit your videos too.
Your correct, Super Record not Nuovo Record, already pointed out. Glad you like the editing, its the look and feel I`. going for, Dan.
A carbon fiber bike is like a late model car, they all look alike. Unless you get a frog looking Tesla.
No offense, but as you were riding it was all you and zero Colnago.
I came to see the Super, not you pratting on & on.
Apologies - I do like to chat... Dan
@@vintagevelos9517 We all like to chat, but....I cut out when it was just you in the frame raving, & no sign of the bike.
