Futura 2000 Colnago Master Pista Track Bicycle. 56cm Futura 2000 Colnago Master Pista Track Bicycle. 56cm Ernesto Colnago is perhaps the best known Italian manufacturer of high end racing bicycles. Over the years, Colnago have gained a reputation for excellence, and have always stood out amongst the competition by virtue of top quality frame sets paired with elaborate paintwork and detailing. ‘Futura 2000’ is a contemporary artist from New York, who first achieved notoriety for his graffiti and mural art, later applying his distinctive graphic designs to items as diverse as custom motorbikes, record sleeves and club flyers, even fashion. Nadir Olivet is a Guatemala-born impresario and proprietor of Toronto bicycle Emporium ‘LaCarrera Cycles’. As an official Colnago dealer, and something of an international mover in many circles of fashionable society, he was ideally placed to connect these two singular talents. Resulting in the collaborative project “Look Ma, No Brakes”, also featuring the art of New York graffiti artist ‘Stash’. This is a Futura Colnago Master Pista, a strictly limited numbered item from a small batch of handmade Italian frame sets garnished with a gazillion multi-coloured polka dots over a white base. This is an original frame set, bought in person on the night of release in Toronto – neither a repaint nor a reproduction, unlike some other frame sets currently for sale on the internet. As if this frame set wasn’t already an eye catcher, we decided to turn up the volume. All the way up. We selected an appropriate group of Campagnolo components, and then had them all 24 carat gold plated. The gold plated Campagnolo aero seat post is adorned with a one-off hand tooled leather saddle with matching polka dots and the famous Futura 2000 tag. Similarly-detailed leather wrapping sets off the gold plated track handlebars, held in place by a black anodised quill stem pantographed with Ernesto Colnago’s signature. The one-off leather saddle and bar ’Legends’ detailing is the handiwork of another well known American artist with street roots, our friend ’Toons’ a.k.a The Bike Styler. The wheel set is comprised of chrome plated low section Campagnolo aero rims, laced with black Sapim CX-Ray aero spokes and gold plated nipples to current-stock low-flange Campagnolo Record Pista hubs. Even the sprocket and axle nuts are gold plated, as are the engraved chainring bolts and crank end caps. The wheels are shod with high-end Vittoria Open Corsa SC Pro Series tyres, with pale sidewalls. Built with a short wheelbase, slightly sloping top tube and straight fork, the Colnago Master is a responsive and whip-quick ride. It looks as fast as it does fashionable even standing still, and this distinctive build boasts enough bling to eclipse the competition in the style stakes. The rear wheel was radially laced on both sides for vertical symmetry, the better to show off the frame and components. If you would like us to re-lace it with a cross pattern, then we are more than happy to do this. The fork shaft was converted from 1 threadless to 1 threaded by our professional frame builder, so that we could install a traditional quill stem. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only Futura frame set with a 1 threaded headset. Serious enquiries are welcomed, and the bicycle can be personally delivered upon request.
