[Purosangue]

just serviced mine she's a 2006 Colnago C50 in WH02 colour.

Bought new in 2006 from Dauphines cycles on box hill in Surrey .....sadly no longer there , they hand built the bike to fit me , Campagnola record group set 10 speed cassette , with Campagnola Hyperon ultra wheels .

I've had to change the set up as im getting older .....and fatter !from a Campag Record 39/53 to a Campag Veloce Compact crank ...because I just couldn't manage the hills !
She's 18 year old I've probably cycled 8,000 miles on her Completed several London- Paris rides all over France and south of England and she's still pristine , with no marks.

This was the 2006 catalogue
I've only ever seen one bike in the red / black WH02 colour

You can’t beat a Colnago. I bought my Master as a rather battered frame only, which was expertly restored for me by the now defunct Longstaff Cycles. Did a wonderful coast to coast in Italy on it, and now it’s just used on sunny days only. Love it.

As done.

I had a C50, black with Italian flag highlights, lovely bike. It had to go back to Italy to have the rear triangles replaced after a bad crash on a group ride where it then got run over by Big Tony. They did a great job fixing it though, you couldn't tell.

Unfortunately a few years later the frame cracked across one of the rear dropouts. @OP Watch out for that on yours, the metal they used was obviously not quite up to snuff, and quite a lot of C50s have died in a similar way.
