I'm considering going back to a Master Light (AD10). Any comment on recent experience, including satisfaction with Belgian paint finishes would be appreciated.

His prices are about $1000 less than R&A.

Right,the bailing out story. STFU,will you ? Coglione..

Well, if you are going to take the low road then, mangiare la mia merda!

You don't even know how to spell it,it spells " mangia la mia merda" . Let me know if you need a world map,I bet like most americans you don't even know where italy is. " Paris is in Florence,right ? " my boss in San Francisco back in '00. San Francisco,not Texarkana. Epic facepalm.

Yeah, but most Italians know where America is on a world map. I think this reflects the relative importance of our countries in the world as much as anything. Ask most Euros how long it takes to drive from New York to Los Angeles and they'll tell you a couple days. I can find Italy on a map, but maybe not Latvia.

The perfect war -- German troops, British officers, American equipment, and the Italians as the enemy.

pmf, I was going to reply to our friendly paisan. After reading your reply, however, you have accomplished everything that I wanted to accomplish in my reply and you did it in a wittier, more succinct, manner.

Congratulations and thanks. :thumbsup:

Little dogs bark the loudest.
wow this thread went downhill rapidly
Just bought a C60 from Maestro and it worked out great. Mike is quick to respond to emails and nice to talk to on the phone. It was well packed for shipping to Canada.

I'm jealous. Can you post some pictures? The Colnago frame I got from him came in the factory box and was well packed.

I'm curious about the bottom bracket. It's an over size pressed in set up? Is it a standard size and you can use a Praxis, or is it proprietary
I used the standard Shimano press fit BB in mine, SM-BB92-41B. There are many other versions that would work, as well as long as they are 41mm diameter and 86.5mm wide.
The frame has threaded replaceable seats for the press fit BB in case they wear or get damaged.
bought my C59 from Mike ( Maestro). The exchange rate at the time made it a worthwhile exercise despite the extra 10% tax when it hits the shore in Aus. Great to deal with. Would've bought my C60 from him as well if it wasn't for the urgent nature of my purchase. R.I.P. C59. :-(
I bought my C60 and my Master from Mike.

He is a pleasure to do business with.
Mike is one of the best in the business in the UK cycle trade. Very solid bloke and a legitimate expert on Colnago.

I bought a Ciocc from him years ago whilst visiting his shop not that far from where I live and have bought bikes second hand which had originally been built up by him - perfect.

He is also a great wheel builder!
