All things Colnago

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.

Late 1970's Super with Campagnolo Gran Sport crank. Can't see the brakes and levers.

 

Nice!

Integrated bars are so cool, but generally much more heavier than a standard setup.

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.

P.S. I may have period correct rear derailleur for sale.

Appreciate it, will definitely be in touch. :thumbup:

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!
