This frame, number M55, is one of the legendary Colnago Oros from 1979. The complete framesets were plated in 24 carat gold.

The first Colnago Oro produced was presented as a clever advertising idea to cycling fan Pope John Paul II. After his death his bike was auctioned, Colnago won and put it in his museum, where it still is today.

M55 is unridden and like all ‘Pope’ edition Oros fitted with a fully pantographed Campagnolo Super Record milled and polished groupset.
