Woof!

I've owned that bike for fifteen to twenty years now. It's still largely in the same configuration, although I've changed wheels and tires.

I worked really hard to try to figure out who the bike was originally built for. It's got no serial number so our buddy Laura @ Colnago wasn't able to help.

There's been maybe a dozen or so steel lugged Colnago 'cross bikes built since the first one in the mid 1970s.

Wen I got it, it had a Shimano drivetrain, a steel unicrown fork and a chainstay protector that said "ElevenSeven."

It is a tight little bike, fits me perfectly. Never leaving the stable.

That reminds me. I should shake the dust off it and take it out for a ride!
