Another find I did a couple of days ago. I am not a Colnago expert although I own a few. I think this is an 1978 colnago mexico. Chrome is in a bad condition and the paint too, but it has some nice pantographed parts. Going to fully restore this one and trying to keep it original as possible.

The last owner bought the bike from a former pro in the 80's she didn't know his name but was going to try and find out who it exactly was.

Nice! Needs some tender TLC and a full Sup. Rec gruppo.

How could ANYONE let such beauty end up like that? Good luck with the re-build.

That is beautiful, following to see final result. Good luck with the re-vamp. Looks very similar to my Colnago Super pista...Also 1970's

More likely it's a very early 80's Super

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
