Wore out three sets of tires already!
Is this the most meaningless frame design? This bike is apparently either designed by and/or built by Colnago.
I cannot wrap my head around the useless "top tube". It provides nothing except added weight, and I guess something to talk about. If it was necessary for the bike's structural integrity there would be no need for dual down tubes. Also, odd to have a shifter braze-on and chainstay cable stop that is not used on the model as built (nothing on left side). I have never seen this design before. The bike is circa '89-'90. One of my Italian suppliers has it for sale on ebay if someone is interested (talk to me, and I may be able to save you some money since I have done business with Manolo before; but even with my discount I find it a bit high considering shipping and taxes added). I only post it as a curiosity.
