What color would you choose among these 3?

I got this Colnago Master Olympic with Campagnolo Record from my dad.

I already did some rides and I could keep easily up with my friends on modern carbon bikes.

But i had already 2 flat tires with the tiny 23mm tires and the bike will not let me shift in the largest(easiest) gear on the back, so it gets hard at steep hills.

What is the maximum tire size I can fit on this bike?

What can I do to make it working even better or is there any upgrade I could do?

what an absolute joy this bike has been to ride for the last year, changed the wheels about 4times but set on the Campag Boras, ride lovely and can keep up with carbon boys on it 😬

did buy the bike around 2013 second hand in a pristine condition. Been riding it since than. This years I added new wheels and more comfy saddle ;) Next up is new brakes.

Help to identify frame year and specs i.e. seat post size and BB specs. I was told it's 1995 frame.

Found this 2018 Colnago on marketplace, entirely stock, for $500. The only only issue was the seatpost was cracked from over tightening. I grabbed the bike, and then used the power of AliExpress to upgrade the stock alloy Fulcrum wheels to a set of Elitewheels Edge 40mm, replaced the cracked seatpost with a lighter weight ElitaOne post, swapped out the alloy bars for a set of RSL handlebars, and put some 7g bottle cages on it. I did splurge on a legit Selle Italia saddle as I haven't found any AliExpress saddles what work quite as well for me (yet). All told, this now sits as pictured at 6.9kg, and it gets a new life thanks to some Chinese Carbon.
