Got this from guy at work today. Anyone know which year/model it is? post-32242-1405963866,8493.jpg

Looks like a Colnago Super. More than likely using Columbus SL tubing.

Very nice find. Cranks look period correct.

Looks like Simplex Retro friction down tube shifters.

These were the best shifters until shimano release the SIS "click" index shifter.

That RD needs to be thrown very far away...

Keep it original.

Yip shifters are Simplex. Will definitely keep it original. More pics to follow.

I had to go plast my client today to fix something, and I took a Pic of the Colnago.

Turned out to be a Carbitubo.

 

see Pic below.

 

Sorry about the reflection in the glass

This Carbitubo needs this groupset on it.

Mate of mine had a red one with this exact Dura Ace groupset, bought it from Alan Van Heerden.

What a bike.

You are probably right Loose Cog. Here is another link to a 1978 Super.

May be a later model. It has "COLNAGO" embossed on the seat tube lugs and the gear cables run under the BB Shell.

The older models have cable guides running on top of the BB Shell.

Could be an early '80's model.

Colnago used the embossed word "COLNAGO" up until the late '80's and then when on to use the "CLUBS" emblem.
