Wanted: campa super record seat post, super record hoods and original decals for a 1978 colnago super restoration project

hi everyone,

Looking for some parts for a '78 colnago super restoration project.
I bought it with dura ace brakes, levers and seat post. It has a campa gran sport crank, ttt stem, cinelli bar and nuovo record derailleurs+shifters. Paint is badly chipped. So basically i'm in for a complete re-spray and re-build.
As this bike looks best in full super record livery, i'm desperately looking for parts..
Most of these are already sourced but still looking for a seatpost, original hoods and decals, preferrably yellow. I've seen black and white but want to go azurro/yellow as colour scheme..

Hopefully someone can help out..

Seat post sorted...

As for decals you'd better look for them on cyclomondo. This is proven site.

I'll second that Cyclomondo have exactly what you need for a '78. I'm doing one myself actually.

@Bici77 If yours is a '78 then perhaps you could tell me whether the decals are applied on top or underneath the clearcoat as yours is currently original. I want to paint mine and can't establish whether they should be applied before or after. Or if yours is not original I know a man who will definately know .................... @saarf

thanks for the props @JusCos!
@Bici77 - you can get nos lever hoods for around 25£ usually on the bay, old/used tend to split on mounting

Hi guys went offline for a while. Thanks for the comments. I don't believe mine has original decals, being above clearcoat. Also what the seller told me... The decals shown above might be from a later era as well. The earlier downtube decals are without the cloverleaf, correct me if im wrong..
It's currently sarronni red with black background decals. I wan't to go azzurri and yellow for the cutouts, cables and bar ribbon. Found something for spray and basically have everything for a full campy build except for the fact that the crank is from 85 and brakes + levers are second gen s.r. So i'm looking around for record brakes and levers or s.r. Gen 1. And a <8> crank

I'm pretty certain this is the correct decal set for a '78 (although this frame looks older as hasn't got Colnago embossed on the fork crowns underneath the clover)
Sounds like it's gonna be a lovely build. Where are you going to get it painted?

'Props' Now I haven't heard that expression for a long time ...... but well deserved

Nice bike! Hopefully mine will turn out just as beautiful. @saarf, any comments on the decals?

I'm looking at unlimited colors here in the Netherlands for paint. Not sure about their reputation with older bikes but they do modern team bikes as well.

Yes but sadly not mine

weird post , not working on browser

@Bici77, unlimited colors are good, I used them twice, the decals @JusCos posted are period correct, these guys should be able to sort them for you with the refurb

@saarf am I correct to assume the decals would've originally been on top of the clearcoat

Thanks again to both! Feeling reassured about both paint and decals now..

some pics of the frame in current state.

ooh that nice. Fork crown chrome looks good too. If it were mine I reckon I'd take those decals off, polish it within an inch of it's life, touch up the worst of the chips and put the period decals on it. It's have a nice 'period' patina then.
What's that brazed on to the seat stay? Is it a chain hanger of some sort

I would say so

looks like a nice find, enjoy!

Shame I can't just do that to my vastly turquoise blue resprayed find. Wanna swap @Bici77

you can buy good quality clearcoat off the bay, you could strip it and do it yourself

'Vastly'. I meant 'ghastly'.

well, strip paint and look at it as a project!

Thanks guys. I'm happy with it although it cost me quite a bit..
Paint is chipped too badly. It wouldn't just be patina..it looks like a poorly treated, badly damaged frame. it looks better on the photos than in real life; i almost didn't buy it when i first saw it. Now i know better :)
managed to sell most of the parts i don't need and replace these with good condition S.R. / N.R. Parts, cinelli bar and stem and Mavic GP4's with record hubs.
As i'm just starting out on the whole "classic bike refurb thing" i failed to recognise that i have gen 2 brakes and crank is dated 1985, So need to replace these in time but will settle for now to get it built up and ride it..
