Hi all, just thought i would ask..........................
I have a Colnago C40 which is decent for its age but i am wondering roughly how much it would cost to have it refurbished. It is as this one:-

    Good call...

    If Maestro do that sort of thing then there is a high likelihood that they will be incredibly accurate, they seem to have been doing the Colnago thing for ages.

    If not then they will probably know the best place to get it done...

    I think I've read elsewhere that Maestro can send it back to the Benelux Colnago distributor and have it refinished in any Colnago colour from the last 10 years for around £300.

    You have at least three options:
    Send it back to Colnago for a 'factory' finish - about 6 months and £300
    Get Maestro to refinish it in Belgium - about 3 months and £250
    Get Atlantic Boulevard to do it - about 6 weeks and £250
    I had AB do my CT1 a few years ago - quality is better and more durable than the factory finish - I went for a one-off custom finish

    beetle1 - I think a phone call to AB on Tuesday will give you the best answer!

    I will post a picture when I've cleaned it and given it a service in advance of first race of the season, this weekend.
