As the title states.....I've never seen a picture of a non-Bstay C40 Mapei World Champion....is there such a thing ? If so, what is a fair price for one ? I have a chance to buy one, but at first blush I did not realize there was such an animal.
Thanks for any feedback..

There has never been a non-B Stay C40 in World Champion paintjob.

Could you kindly share a picture?
Again, I have never ever seen a C40 first edition in World Champion colors.
The one I always remember is the one of Oscar Freire with the B Stay.
If you would have a complete bike picture it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I've seen em before online. Soon no guarantee to authenticity, sorry. And I have also used the EBay Seller in Question, also with good results. But with their feedback being fairly low for me. I'm guessing it was also low $ purchases. Sorry, I cannot be any more helpful.

Seems a little odd that the factory would paint one of the old frames in WC colours. I do know that Maestro were able to get frames painted by the Benelux distributor a while back, so there may be odd one kicking around.
When Olano or Museeuw won their titles, in 95 & 96 respectively, on Colnago bikes Mapei didn't provide special WC frames for them. Even Freire was on a stock Mapei C40 in 2000, probably because he won the 99 title on an Olmo. I don't recall seeing a WC one until he'd won his second title, this time on a actual Colnago.

Where did I write I dont believe you?

At the time Maestro would paint every paintscheme wanted by the customer (and at a way better quality than colnago did) best thing way the colnago guarantee stayed intact. Had my C40 done in the saronni style and they did a perfect job (whereas Colnago never seemed able to get the red colour right going from red-brown tot red-purple)

It's funny but I view Colnago etc paintjobs in the same way as Ferrari. Everyone has a particular shade of red in their head but the shade varies wildly over the years.
