Here's my latest purchase....
To say I love it is an understatement and I've always wanted a colnago.... I was looking a c60 but then I decided my canyon would be just as good if not better for the type of riding I do.
So in my head I justified that this was the essence of what a colnago is, as far as I can tell it's a super/Mexico the difference eludes me, but from about 1978/9.
It's a bit unusual in some senses.... has three top tube mounts and an SP (27.0mm) diameter seat tube. I'm also a bit confused as to it's exact age as it's lugs look to be 78 ish but the rear brake bridge and under bottom bracket cable routing make it more early 80's.
I know it's not eroica ready but I get all the advantages of a retro look but a new gruppo, it's also had a repaint but it's been superbly done.... anyway...I'm over the moon to be in the colnago club!
