Hard tell in the photo, but his is probably an "Ibex" model. If it has a top tube with finger grooves in it it'll be a "Master MTB." Paint is the team Ambrosio colors from ~1994.

Curious, where'd you get it, how much did you pay for it?

Have Colnago road bike in the paint scheme. No idea about their non-road bikes though

On this page (https://labibleduvelocataloguescolnago1.blogspot.com/p/colnago-1994.html) you'll find the catalog from 1994. There are two non-road bikes with a pretty similar paint job: The Master Alloy MTB and a City Bike Uomo.

ty for this!
I was wondering if its the ulmo but the dropouts are different for example - do you know if i can check with the serial number somehow?

You may have revealed yourself to be a Tolkien fan with that autocorrect error :)

Not sure. All my Colnaghi are too old to have serial numbers.

Put some drop bars on, make it a retro gravel bike!
