Well, here's one for the Colnago serial number theorists. Empire Records Legendado. Best guess, based on the seat stays, curved fork, and early decor(ish) paint is that it's an 89-90 model.

No serial number stamped on dropout. Colnago factory contact unable to identify year or provide further information. Photos are available here. More Colnago Serial Number Chart images.

Very few would argue against Colnago’s position on the top spot of the ‘prestige brand’ podium. Although production of a good portion of their frames has moved from Italy to Taiwan over the last few years, they’ve continued to maintain the strict quality controls and high standards we’ve come to expect. The CLX 3.0 is a superb bike, and forms part of a range of realistically priced models – for Colnago anyway – designed to get more fans riding their beloved marque. Similar in appearance to its aluminium/carbon predecessor, the, the CLX 3.0’s full carbon frame strikes a graceful note. Curved seatstays mated to reasonably sized chainstays cushion you from road vibration and help the bike to stay pointed steadily in the right direction. Handling is simply superb: where we once referred to Colnago’s ‘stable platform handling’, we’d like to add that it’s like being on a self-righting lifeboat. No matter what the road throws at you, this bike will see you through.
