Welcome • Ever since I properly got into cycling I’ve wanted to own a Colnago Master. In fact, even though I rarely visit the website, whenever I open Ebay the first thing that pops up in the search suggestions is ‘Colnago Master 58cm Saronni Red’. The words send a little quiver of desire down my spine when I see them.
