2007
London Cycle Show - "On the Colnago stand, UK importers Windwave had a Master Pista steel frame with track ends, painted in similar manner to the Saronni Master X-Light, but without the chrome stays. Colnago apparently had a pile of these frames, in black, sitting in Cambiago. Windwave said they could sell a considerable number of these, so Colnago painted them in more attractive colours and sales proceeded." [See the colnago.cc blog on the washingmachinepost.]
