quintonb Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Got this from guy at work today. Anyone know which year/model it is? 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. Edited July 21, 2014 by quintonb

Yip shifters are Simplex. Will definitely keep it original. More pics to follow.
Loose cog Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Got this from guy at work today. Anyone know which year/model it is? Late 1970's Super with Campagnolo Gran Sport crank. Can't see the brakes and levers. Nice!
Loose cog Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 P.S. I may have period correct rear derailleur for sale.
quintonb Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 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 glassThis Carbitubo needs this groupset on it. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/87196-shimano-dura-ace-8spd-retro-gset/ Mate of mine had a red one with this exact Dura Ace groupset, bought it from Alan Van Heerden.What a bike.
Cippo Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 More from Europcar Integrated bars are so cool, but generally much more heavier than a standard setup.

Here is another link to a 1978 Super. http://www.velociao.com/2011/colnago-super-1978/ Edited July 22, 2014 by Cippo Loose cog 1
quintonb Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 You are probably right Loose Cog. Here is another link to a 1978 Super. http://www.velociao....ago-super-1978/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.
jcza Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 P.S. I may have period correct rear derailleur for sale. Appreciate it, will definitely be in touch.
Cippo Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Classy C60 build Damn! That's just too hot. I'm working with numbers in my head and it's already over 100K for frame and wheels. What's better than a pair of Lightweight's? A freakng pair of Lightweight OBERMAYER'S!
