The Colnago Flash was the entry point into Colnago\'s carbon fork lineup when it launched in 2001 — a CroMo steel steerer tube paired with an aluminum crown, carbon fiber blades, and aluminum dropouts. This example is finished in gloss black with white \"Flash\" script and a white trifoglio (clover) decal on the crown — Colnago also ran the Flash in a black-and-yellow colorway, but this unit\'s graphics are white-on-black. It\'s a genuinely versatile fork: built for 700c wheels with a standard caliper brake mount, it\'s equally at home on a period road build or a fixed-gear/pista-style street conversion, which is where a lot of these forks end up today.
The steerer is a 1\" threadless design (clamp-on stem, not a quill stem) at 300mm, uncut, giving you room to set up your own stack height. Axle-to-crown measures 339mm.

CONDITION
This fork is new/unused — factory protective wrap is still visible on the steerer in the photos — with a couple of minor cosmetic marks (fine surface marks near the crown seam and on the carbon weave, visible in the close-up photos). Please review all photos closely, as they\'re the most accurate record of its actual condition. I\'m glad to answer any question about condition or fitment not fully covered by the photos before you buy — just ask.
A strong option for a period Colnago road build, a fixed-gear or pista-style street conversion, or anyone who wants a genuinely lightweight, brake-compatible 1\" threadless fork with real Colnago pedigree rather than a generic replacement.
