My Colnago Gravel Bike

James,

This was my Colnago "Gravel" Bike...

A 1987 Colnago Master Ibex MTB with Columbus OS Gilco tubing and a complete Shimano Deore XT gruppo.




It was an interesting bike but showed that Colnago had no idea about how to build a MTB. It handled terribly off road and was like a super twitchy crit bike on the street. I got rid of it because I didn't need another "collector's item".
