This video shows the build of a stunning Colnago super piu vintage road bike. The bicycle arrived with no wheels or saddle, however we had a great start with a complete Campagnolo groupset and a Colnago engraved handlebar stem and handlebars.
Watch the bicycle stripped, cleaned, polished and built back up like a new bike before being taken out back on the open road to test ride. This Colnago super really came out well and was an absolute flying machine to ride. The video also covers briefly, the history of the Colnago bicycle company and mentions the last Colnago build we did which was the Colnago Master Piu.
Giving these vintage bicycles new life is such a positive thing to do. I would highly recommend it to anybody thinking about it. I do hope these video's help you in your own projects, and inspire you to recycle that old bicycle.

Manchester England is where much of my DNA comes from. And you have yet another fine restoration, Distant Cousin!
Thanks brother 😉 glad you liked it thanks for the support much appreciated
Colnago, Campagnolo and Michelin tires. NOOOOOOOOOO! just kidding, stellar build Andy! Wish I lived next door.
Thanks buddy, yes Ive been finding it difficult recently to obtain decent gum wall tyres at a reasonable price. Ive got a few future builds with some tyres on that you'd approve of. Take care and thanks for your support and watching
I always wrap my bars on the bike when I've installed the cables! Thanks 👍🏻😉🚴🏻♂️
Yes that’s correct, I only do it this way for the video and speed of the build
Beautiful ! Love it ! Can't go wrong with Colnago and Campy ! ( Vintage, of course! ) 👍
Dam right, glad you like it thanks for watching and the support
Campag
Another great job Andy. Greetings from Greece...
Hello over there in Greece 🇬🇷 thanks for watching glad you like.
Always loved and lusted over Colnago’s…had to settle for racing a Zullo with Zeus components…beggars can’t be choosers as they say. Anyway I wish3e I still had that Zullo now she would be a nice addition to the collection. Another lovely restoration but a Colnago deserves a higher Campagnolo or Dura Ace groupset (I know sacrilege..but I love the early Dura Ace…so much better than Campy in use). However I understand it’s not your ride. Keep up the great work. Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thanks Trevor for your support its much appreciated, glad you liked it. Ive got a c-record and Dura Ace groupset packed up and going on a couple of future projects. Watch this space, thanks again all the best
What a cracking bike restoration that was Andy and also a lovely touch at the end with a photo of the owner's father to finish the video off.
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for tuning in and watching your support is much appreciated
Super nice job! Here in Seattle, fully engrossed in the new bike addiction, down to 9 after a sale the other day. You have motivated me to keep going and get this cool Nishiki road bike I snagged for free this last weekend torn down and back in action, thanks brother!
Wow sounds good enjoy - thanks for tuning in and you support all the best Andy
beautiful video...greetings from Italy
Thank you very much! Greetings my friend
Lovely tribute to Tommy' dad, great work Andy 🏅
Thanks buddy all the best take care
what a lovely Piu.
wonderful work!
Glad you like thanks
@@BikeItUK if you have a frame too much, I would be honoured to buy and to build it.
Greetings from Berlin
@@wildukind442 I'll keep you in mind all the best
These videos are just so therapeutic to watch and I would be as cheerful as Andy with all those beautiful bikes to work on! Now, only six more weeks of winter here and then I can get one of mine out too...
Yes the better cycling weather is defiantly on its way. Thanks for tuning in all the best buddy
Beautiful build Andy one of your best yet 👌
Much appreciated glad you liked it 👍🚲
Great rebuild man. Keep on the good work.
Thanks many more to come 😉👍
Great job. That's what I like about You, my friend. You are not restoring them and then keeping in some sterile place - like some kind of artefact. You take them back on the road and that's the place where this beauties should be. That's what these bicycles were made for - to ride.
Thanks buddy glad you enjoy the videos your support is much appreciated. Loads more to come.....hope you're enjoying the weekend all the best.
Really love this colourway on the Colnago , I was so jealous when I used to see other guys on one in the 1990's. Great restoration of a real gem.
You and me both, glad you enjoyed it thanks for the support
Wonderful bike, wonderful Dad, wonderful restoration!
Thanks Simon for watching and the support
👍👍👍 from Southern California
Thanks 🙏 all the best from Sunny Manchester 🌧
That’s a “keeper.”😍
Thanks for watching
Beautiful bike I think 9 speed bikes were really good at its time ⌚
It rode so well, I’d of definitely considered it in my collection if it wasn’t already somebody else’s.
Colin the Nago. 👌
Thanks 🙏
Another piece of bike porn masterfully restored to it's former glory. I was envious the entire time. A dream retro machine that is nice and clean. Cheers from Ohio! Much love.
Straight back at you buddy, glad you liked it. Your on going support is much appreciated. All the very best take care 👍😉
Another amazing bike, build and video! Thank you for putting yourself out there, Andy, for our enjoyment! The only thing I would have done differently is Vittoria Corsa tires. A Colnago deserves those Italian beauties for sure. -Mike's Bikes Work
Yes, they would of been the finishing touch 👍 Thanks again for your support buddy
Loving it what a bike you done a fab job m8 well done
Thanks for your ongoing support hope you are well. All the best Andy

Wowee excellent build❤😊🚴🏻
Much appreciated

Super Più - Lovely bike, great video Andy
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
Beautiful build! I sincerely appreciate the time, effort, and thought you put into each and every bike.
Making this Gem road worthy again for the viewer to remember his dad is a nomination for sainthood!
Thanks for your supporting comment it’s much appreciated 😉👍
Congratulations on the video! This fascinating and meticulous work revives these traditional Italian models, especially since Colnago has a unique tradition in the history of road cycling. Beautiful bike and jubilant work. Greetings from this Brazilian road cycling enthusiast.
Huge thanks for your supporting comment it’s much appreciated, all the best and lots more to come 👍
Beautiful looking bike.
Glad you like it thanks
Another inspiring video, thanks!! Just what I needed to start my Bianchi 829 resto-mod 🙂
I’ve got a Bianchi myself to start on 🚲enjoy! Thanks for watching and your support glad you liked it 👍
Cracking Colnago. Wow. Would love to have that kind of inventory around here in the States
Yes I’m mindful of how lucky I am to have all what is around me. Thanks for your support it’s much appreciated 👍
Another great video, Andy. Always a treat to see these beautiful bikes restored. Good on you for bringing a dads bike back to his son.
Thanks buddy, yes its an absolute pleasure to do a lot more to come. All the best
Stunning!
Thank you! Cheers!
That one shined up nicely!
Thanks buddy
Top notch Andy. The bike looks amazing. Well done sir. All the best from Canada.
Thanks buddy plenty more on the way, thanks for the support much appreciated
Absolutely gorgeous bike, Colnago is every cyclist's dream. Great work Andy, congratulations as always.
Many thanks for your continued support much appreciated 👍🚲
always nice to see that the old bikes are in good hands with you Andy and congratulations on your new colnago it looks good.
regards Benni 👍🚵♀️🚵♀️
They were never the old bikes. Its the globlist scum who decided to transfer all the skill of the master builders to sweat shops in Taiwan. They destroyed the shape of racing bikes and the style. Why? Because the general public said yes to them, they said give us a cheap bargain, carbon piece of shit. Doesnt matter if it looks like a mountain bike with dropped bars, we dont care. The hell we live in is the hell we create.
Hey man you do an incredible job of restoring old vintage road bikes I'm very impressed. The Colnago came out amazing!
Glad you like them! Thanks for tuning in and watching all the very best, take care
Another great video Andy. A good way to start the weekend!!
Glad you enjoyed it, hope your have a good one. All the best
Superb job Andy, bike looks great! Your looking strong there 👍👍
Thanks much appreciated 👍
Another great restoration Andy. 👍
Thanks glad you liked it
Hi Andy that's such a nice machine at any level just wants riding very well done...
Thanks glad you like it, I really enjoyed riding it. I could of definitely added it to my personal collection.
Wow, I would say that Campagnolo Bike shifts like Shimano.
Thanks 👍
Súper pui!!!!!!!!!
Yes I think the pui was added and spelt wrong, can you shed any other light on it? Thanks
Really great restoration! Such a beautiful frame. Love the chrome folks and lugging. I’m really liking those Michelin dynamic classic tyre’s on my bikes atm too. Really good tyres for the price. And look good on retro bikes
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and your support it’s much appreciated 👍
great restoration Andy, the smile said it all :) top work on the edit and production too, great vid, nice story too
Thanks glad you liked it thanks for your support all the best
Top andy ✌🏼
Thanks much appreciated
Great build Andy , that frame came up like new with a bit of T-cut. You need to get your talented hands on a Gios Torino for restoration. Absolute classic 70's bike with bags of history (Roger de Vlaeminck , Paris - Roubaix and all that. I never miss a post
That's in the plan! I just need to find one for the right price, very nice bicycles. Watch this space its on the hit list do not worry. thanks for watching all the best
Gorgeous Italian steel and build! Piu an interesting model name as it translates to "More" so the Super Piu is extra or "Super More."
I like super more.....thanks for tuning in glad you liked it thanks for your support all the best
Wonderful Colnago..thank you for that.. and .. some important for all of us .. Peace !! 🇺🇦
Thanks glad you liked it, stay positive buddy
Love this build I've got a new master x light f&f arriving in may and your channel has been a great source of inspiration. I'm going neo retro with full Campag record 11s and Boras. I cannot wait 😁
Nice, so glad you’ve enjoyed the videos! Mate yours should be an absolute head turning flying machine 🚴♂️ all the best and thanks for the support much appreciated
I am doing a new arabesque neo retro build with Campy 12s and Boras as well! so excited but still waiting for my frame lol.
Very sweet frame. It came up amazing. Love the headset, seatpost. Saddle suited very much. The groupset was a little cheap. If it were mine, i would want Record 9 speed! That would look period correct. It would also suit the expensive frame. great build all the same
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your support. My hands were a little tied with it being a viewers bike. I’ve got a couple of personal builds on the way, I’m sure they’ll fit the bill 😉👍
The best
Thanks 🙏
Colnago lugwork,,,,, need I say anymore👌😘
I know stunning, thanks for watching and the support
Beautiful bike and a beautiful job. Hope you didn't have too much trouble finding all the replacement parts.
The 9 speed wheelset was a little struggle, big change in hubs from 8-9speed Campagnolo. Thanks for watching all the best
Hahaha! Are you having a laugh with the bottom bracket assembly? "Quick little hand tight here, nice and tight then, move on" hahaa. 😊
Yes, I wish it was so easy....hmmm I sometimes wonder how long people would watch for if I did everything real time. Thanks for watching all the best
intense
Thanks for watching
colonago 😁
😉👌
Amazing job Andy . That frame has come up brilliant.are you keeping it for yourself
No this was a build for a viewer it was his dads Colnago who's now passed away. Thanks for the support all the best
Andy amazing job as always. Just love watching your videos.
Would like to ask what solution you use to clean all the components?
Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it, I use petrol as a thinner to degrease the components. Hope this helps all the best and thank for the support
talk more about the ride feel and quality next time please... other wise I really liked it
Thanks for the support I’ll take it on board 👍
Lovely combination... looks like you didn't change the handlebars in the end ? They are quite an unusual profile...
No I didn't change them, I think they came with the bike and had double cable guides for the brake and gearing cable so decided to keep with them. Thanks for watching all the best
Great job,,,,you are a scholar and a gentlemen,,,,,,,,,,,,,can you share any websites in the UK where I can find a Colnago Mexico….
Thanks for watching and the support regarding a Colnago Mexico 🇲🇽 🤔 no idea. Good luck
you're a legend my guy. great build as always. and did you say you had the groupset laquered before polish??
Thanks buddy your support is appreciated. The groupset was in such good condition I didn’t want to polish it and remove the protective lacquer 👍
@@BikeItUK I had no idea some groupsets had lacquer on them. Can you tell or do you have to research?
superb again Andy - where do you get these from!!!
looking at the bars and levers at the start, it didn't used to belong to Sean Yates did it - haha!!
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it
You always have fantastic builds. I have a question though, why are the bars always so low for your setups on classic road bikes? You don't find yourself ever losing out on a lot of positions in the hooks and drops that old school, full drops offer?
The lower bars were just on older race bikes to tuck you into a more aerodynamic position. Unlike a more touring position which is a more comfortable position 👍 Thanks for watching and your support much appreciated
@@BikeItUKThanks so much for the reply! I tried almost slaming my quil stems, but I found that backing off the drop from the saddle just a little bit allowed me to maintain an aero position for the majority of my ride, and I could stay in the hooks forever with a nice parallel bend of the arms. I discovered for me at least. low and stretched out really worked for aggressive racing positions versus low and down. Thanks for making these fantastic videos with all the bikes of my dreams!
Andy
What do you use for parts cleaner : crankset, brake bits and such?
Just use petrol as a thinner, hope this helps. Thanks for watching
What a cracker, very nice. How many takes to stop the rear wheel on the logo?
😂 hmm I’m getting better at it, I can tell you that 😂😂 thanks for watching all the best
Sweet bike m8. Did u feel a difference between this one and the Master concering riding?
🤔 This one was slightly smaller than the master. Hmm I honestly loved riding this one. The more I rode it the more I could definitely see myself using and having the bike for myself. I think bang for buck as they say I’d have the super 🚴♂️
I have a super piu, possibly a C94 (?) Made from 25 CR mo 4 tubing there are no numbers or bb cutouts and I believe it's possibly an export model made by an outsourced company, not in the Colnago factory, at least that what I've been told by two different sources. Are they right?
Honestly, I do not know. I recently found out many almost all outsourced frame building to cut costs and increase profits. Thats the world of business the world over I think.
@@BikeItUK yeah I'm pretty sure that's why there are so many Colnagos in central America and Asia, make them affordable to a smaller market
Nice job on the restoration however I watched the whole video hoping for a closeup of the bike's model name lettering on the top tube. How did you manage to miss this bit of film?
Honestly, the piu is spelt pui. Im not sure if it was added after at some point. So to try and avoid endless comments just about this I avoided that footage. Glad you liked it.
This is amazing! Andy, do you keep these builds or do you sell them as you used to?
Amzing build as usual. Lovely bike!
Thanks for watching and the support glad you like it. Some builds I sell however this one is a viewers bicycle that I have done for him.
I would have put blue bar tape on.
Ok thanks for watching
Hi Andy . . . another great video! You didn't mention the saddle but I could see that it was a San Marco Rolls . . . perfect. And what is the make of the wheels? Were they Campagnolo too? Really poignant last frame of Tommy's dad . . . keep up the excellent work!
Glad you like it thanks, the saddle yes I forgot to mention. Ive got about five restorations on the go at the moment and getting older completly forgot I didn't mention it earlier. The wheelset well that was a struggle massive I had 8 speed Campagnolo wheels knocking around, however massive change from 8 to 9. The hubs are completely different, I ended up with a set of Rigida Ultimate rims with Miche hubs. They run great and still have the look of the older Campagnolo hubs. Thanks for watching and your support all the best
@@BikeItUK My pleasure Andy! Your videos are such a breath of fresh air in these tech dominated days and I'm always excited to see a new one. I have a 1965 Urago which I originally ran as a fixed wheel from when I bought the frame new back in the 1960s. It's been through a re-enamelling and re-chroming and is now kitted out with all the Campagnolo equipment that I lusted after back then. Over the years, it's become the bike I desperately wanted in the lake 60s/early 70s but couldn't afford. It's the one possession I've told my kids they can't get rid of when I pass on . . . unless they bury it with me!
@@BikeItUK PS: to my last post . . . I meant "late", not "lake! And I'd love to send you a pic of my Urago.
@@rogerwatt8491 Love it laid to rest with your bicycle.....I have a couple in the garage my kids know about. funny how they become part of you. With the world the way it is, it is beyond belief every single person on the planet doesn't own and use a bike. Crazy, thanks for your support its much appreciated, all the best until the next one
@@rogerwatt8491 Please find social media and website links on the banner of the BikeitUK channel you can send images that way no problem. Take care buddy
Andy what do you use to clean your bikes with and all the parts.
Restorations the running gear petrol, frames T-cut...non restorations Much off degreaser and then GT85 and Muc Off chain lubes.
What do you think about the Colnago Sprint ?
I have never had one to comment
If a Colnago Master doesn't make you sentimental about cycling, nothing will. Question: do you ever seek out the original/period correct parts to rebuild with? Headset is a clear give-away that this was a C-Record era build at one time...maybe Croce?
Yes as a rule I’ll try and keep it period. Thanks for watching glad you liked it
another nice build, but that handlebar angle is wrong and the shifters are still too low. (again, handlebar wrap should be the very last phase of the build, just in case the cable housing needs adjusting, plus you dont get the white tape dirty…)
Thanks for watching and your advice much appreciated all the best hope your enjoying the weekend
Any idea Andy what the weight of the bike is? Colnago's are built to last.
Can i ask you a quick question? Whats your opinion of Guerciotti especially their steel frame called the "Record". It takes 6 weeks to be built and the frames are made in Italy. I have written to the company but have yet to receive a reply. Can you help out with advice. Thank you.
Hi buddy, not sure of the weight nor the Guerciotti frame you are interested in. You’ve got me interested now though I’ll have to have a search now. Keep me posted I’m curious 🤔🚲 thanks for tuning in much appreciated 👍
@@BikeItUK Its called the Guerciotti Record and you can buy it as a frame with a 1 inch threaded fork in a variety of colours. Its hand made and will except an 11 speed cassette. It costs 1,250 euro and the sizes are plentiful. I cant make up my mind wheather to take a 52cm or 53cm. Its been so long since i rode an old school bike. I am nearly 5 foot 7 inches. I am currently riding a size 52cm racing bike and it has a very slight slope in the top tube which i hate but begger's cant be choosers. Dont know who the Guerciotti distributors are in the UK. But there is one in Ireland.
They didn't leave you much seat post.
Ha ha, no think it was all about saving weight
@@BikeItUK I have an old Derosa with a similar seat post, instead of sawing off the excess the owner had bitten a piece off, or that is how it looks. Probably The Cannibal, he had a seat post fetish.
👍🇮🇹
🙏 👍
What cleaning fluid do you use in the bucket?
For degreasing I use petroleum as a thinner. Hope this helps
@@BikeItUK Cheap and effective I suppose, if a little risky, and also not that easy to dispose of safely.
@@worldofameiso5491 definitely the best at degreasing, make sure your well ventilated and no naked flames. Use a suitable sealed container it does settle and can be reused.
Stunning bike,it's making me drool 🤤 I hope you put the wife's toothbrush back in its cup after you were finished !? 🤣🤣
Funny, if only she knew. Thanks for watching all the best
I like your videos and the classic bikes you restore. Please get an old cheap seatpost to put on the bike and clamp to it on the bike stand. Clamping to the top tube is cringe worthy and rule number one on the stand.
Much appreciated, thanks for the advice. 👍
How much this
Unfortunately it is not for sale this is a viewers bicycle.
Am I going crazy or does it say PUI on the top tube?
Ha Ha no my friend you're not going crazy you do have an eye for detail though, I think it was added after and before I received it its the wrong way round. Thanks for watching
Colnagos are great but they all suffer one massive defect , they are not GIOS.
A GIOS is on my list 😉👍
Noooo….finish off white handlebar tape with white electrical tape, not black.
HaHa I have done on other occasions I just thought with the black hoods and stem it went better. Point taken have a good weekend thanks for watching
Sorry couldn@t watch with sound on its COL NAR GO NOT COL A nARGO
Jeez man. Meanwhile, we are on the verge of another world war. There's more things to get uptight about than pronunciation.
Yes, my wife was also correcting me. It’s a hard one to shake after saying it for so many years incorrectly. If you wasn’t listening then thanks for watching. All the best 👍
Thanks for the support take care
@@BikeItUK Yes defiantly watched it loved it can't wait for the next one keep up the great work
Wonderful Colnago..thank you for that… and.. most important… Peace !!
🇺🇦
Thanks glad you liked it, stay positive buddy
