===Special Purpose Frames===
====Cyclocross====
Over the years, Ernesto Colnago built steel cyclocross frames for individual professional riders and did not sell any steel frames to the public. A handful have been identified, an early one based on the Colnago Super and built for [[Roger de Vlaeminck]]. Photos are available [https://www.flickr.com/photos/quality_vintage_bikes/sets/72157631648022202/with/8035017897/ here].  This frame sold in November 2012 on eBay for approximately $1200 US. A second 1985 Colnago Super Cyclocross Team Kwantum Decosol Team ex bike [[Adrie Van Der Poel]], not listed in catalog or generally retail distributed, can be seen [https://saarf.london/category/colnago-super-cyclocross-1985-team-kwantum-decosol/ here].

Another frame surfaced a couple of years ago, and appears to have been built in the mid to late 90s, loosely based on the Colnago Crystal, specifically labeled "Master" on the rear brake hanger. Lugs and seat stays are similar to those on the Crystal, slightly beefier tubing than other road models (32mm OD downtube, 29mm seat tube), relaxed wheelbase, top tube routing for rear brake and derailleur, traditional routing for front derailleur but no braze-on for front derailleur. Colnago bottom bracket shell. Straight mtb style threadless fork (no formal crown). No serial number stamped on dropout. Colnago factory contact unable to identify year or provide further information. Photos are available.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://levitts.smugmug.com/frame/slideshow?key=q5WH7h&autoStart=1&captions=1&navigation=1&playButton=1&speed=3&transition=fade&transitionSpeed=2&clickable=1|title=levitts|website=levitts.smugmug.com}}</ref>

Colnago built a couple of bikes for the Italian cyclocross and MTB champion [[Luca Bramati]]. Bramati rode a yellow steel, lugless Colnago cyclocross bike in the '96 Worlds in Munich, considered to be one of the most exciting races ever, where he placed third. His bike had a front fork with a traditional brazed fork crown, and full front/rear gear cable brazings. The tubing looks just slightly oversized, and overall the bike looks quite similar to Bramati's Colnago MTB that he raced in Atlanta in the '96 Olympics.

Another may have been built for Bert Hiemstra in 1998/1999, Rabobank rider. This was a lugless steel frame, badged "Colnago Competition" in Rabobank colors, 59&nbsp;cm CtT, set up with 9 speed Dura Ace and a Unicrown fork.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/ex-rabobank-colnago-competition-art-decor-cx-cross-sold.198647/|title=Ex-Rabobank Colnago Competition Art Decor CX Cross SOLD|website=Retrobike|date=23 April 2012 }}</ref>

* Cyclocross (c 1980s) Manufactured by Alan, stamped "Colnago" name on bottom of headtube. Aluminum tubing screwed and glued to lugs. Sizing stamped in bottom bracket, no serial number on rear dropouts. Top tube ovalized for shouldering bike on transitions.
* Dual Cyclocross<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://saarf.london/2014/08/16/colnago-dual-cyclocross-c-x-circa-1988/|title=Colnago Dual Cyclocross (C X) circa 1988|date=August 16, 2014}}</ref>
* Dream CX—Production aluminum like the Dream Road with Unicrown MTB style front fork and additional bracing at headtube/downtube union.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://saarf.london/2014/08/18/colnago-dream-cyclocross-cx-rabobank-team/|title=Colnago Dream Cyclocross (CX) Rabobank Team|date=August 19, 2014}}</ref>
* World Cup—
* Prestige—Early Prestige frames, all monocoque construction, had an added brace between top and seat tube for carrying the bike during cyclocross races. They also have water bottle bosses. Later frames lost this brace and gained brackets for disc brakes.
* C50 CX Rabobank Team<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://saarf.london/2015/10/12/colnago-c50-cyclocross-team-rabobank/|title=Colnago C50 Cyclocross, Team Rabobank|date=October 12, 2015}}</ref>

====Mountain Bikes====
Although not very common or widely available in the American market, Colnago did produce a number of mountain bikes. Some featured the Master profile tubing found on the Colnago road bikes.
* Master—Gilco shaped tubing like the Master road bike, Unicrown fork hard tail mountain bike
* Maxim--
* CF series CF12 Ferrari collaboration
