When the American bike boom in the '70s created a giant demand for Colnago frames and bikes, Colnago was willing to farm out his orders and allowed his decals to be put on bikes that weren't up the the reputation he had earned.īarring that short-term glitch, the Colnago name on a bike is justly synonymous with performance, quality and innovation. Starting in the mid-1960s, Colnago's steel frames earned a reputation as among the finest in the world. In 1963 he became the head mechanic of the Molteni team, which led to his becoming Gianni Motta's and Eddy Merckx's frame builder. His gifts as a race mechanic were quickly evident and he became a team mechanic for the Nivea team, working under the guidance of the great Faliero Masi. He opened his own shop in 1952, working as a subcontractor for Gloria. He took up racing, but a bad crash sent him back to the torch and file. He was initially apprenticed at thirteen to the legendary Milan bicycle builder Gloria.
