Colnago Master X-Light
Simply put, the Colnago Master X-Light is the classic steel frame, as much today as it was when introduced by Ernesto Colnago in 1983. The Colnago Master X-Light frame features Colnago's Master shaped full steel DT15 V tubing and is Made in Italy by Colnago's artisan frame builders. The Colnago Master X-Light frame has Colnago's timeless micro fusion Lugs and dropouts. A modern update to the all steel, all Italian is the Colnago Street Carbon 1” steerer diameter fork, Steel Precisa fork and classic 27.2 mm seat post diameter. The Colnago Master X-Light is available in 16 traditional sizes.

MAINTAINING STEEL FRAMES
To maintain steel frames we suggest that you spray inside the frame tubing FISH OIL, CAVITY WAX or a frame saver mixture from the time of purchase. These metal preservants are available from automotive parts shops or bike shops for around $10 to $20 for a pressure pack can. This way you will have a protective film on the inside of the tubing which helps prevent any rust or corrosion internally. You need to spray inside the tubes from the beginning not after corrosion has started because you are only sealing in the corrosion. If you allow water to sit inside the frame , not even fish oil will prevent corrosion.
Be aware that the frame top tube frame can hold moisture . Water can enter the frame by riding in wet weather or washing and hosing the frame. We recommend that you disassemble and check the frame periodically for moisture, and reapply fish oil at this time. To remove water tip the frame so it can drain out.
If you have a fall we suggest that you check or have your frame inspected by a qualified person. Frame alignment can be affected and frame damage may be evident from a fall or crash. If your frame is chrome plated we strongly recommend the fish oil maintenance inside all the tubes. To polish chrome we suggest baby powder on a soft cloth.
Wash your frame to remove sweat and or sports drinks from the paint surface as these can help rust set in from the outside especially "Coca Cola" which is acidic. Clean around the tight areas of the frame like cable guides and derailleur mounts. This is where corrosion can easily start in those hard to get to areas.
