Brand History:
In 1960, Colnago saw fame as Luigi Arienti rode to a gold medal at the Rome Olympics on a Colnago bicycle. From the late 1960s through the 1970s, Colnago was generally regarded as one of the builders of the world's best custom road race frames.
Colnago produced the super-light steel frame used by Eddy Merckx in 1972, to break the world one hour record. This bicycle has been displayed all over the world, including in a display case inside a Brussels metro station.
Colnago produced the steel (Columbus tubed) frame used in 1982, by Saronni to win the world professional road race championship.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the "Super" was one of Colnago's models, a high-end racing frame. In the mid 1980s, Colnago introduced various crimped-tube models as their top of the range frames, including "Master" and later "Master-Light". The manufacturer varied the base material of "Master" frames thougout its several iterations ranging from Columbus tubing DT15V to "Ultimate Superlight" from Tange Japan.
During the mid 1980s, the company introduced the "Precisa" brand bicycle fork. It was the first front fork with straight blades. The normal road racing ~4 degree fork rake was provided by the shape of the crown. Colnago claimed that this straight-blade feature provided lengthwise elasticity similar to curved blade forks to dampen road roughness, but with much improved crosswise stiffness for sprinting. The design was also considered to be one of the lightest full steel forks, underweighing even some cheaper contemporary aluminium or carbon forks. Many modern forks, especially carbon forks, now use straight blades. The bicycle tubing manufacturer Columbus tubing marketed the fork under its own brand name "Elite" but in fact it was the same fork as Colnago "Precisa".
Since the 1980s, Colnago has continued to produce high-end steel bikes, and has branched out into other materials, working with Ferrari to develop new carbon fiber technology, and occasionally introducing titanium and aluminum frames. Its flagship frames, such as the C-40 and the C-50 – respectively named for Colnago's 40th and 50th years in bike building are carbon fiber frames
