HeyYou Posted May 14, 2015 Share I would put this frame somewhere near the mid to late '80's.I think it was '87/88 that Colnago replaced the word "Colnago" stamped in the seat stay and replaced it with the "Clubs" logo.Some info on the Supers http://www.velo-retro.com/colnagotline.html I think the frame might be earlier, based on the cable guide on the top tube (generally gone by 85/86) and the single (that I can see) set of water bottle cage screws. Certainly after 83, because of the sloping fork crown. My guess would be 84/85.

Cippo Posted May 14, 2015 Share I emailed Colnago pics of frame and details. According to Mauro @ Colnago it is a 86-87 MASTER, not a Mexico. It's a MASTER not a Mexico. YIPPEE!!! Thanks for all the info guys.

YIPPEE!!!Thanks for all the info guys.Nice. The tube flutes don't look as pronounced on your frame as on other Masters, could be the colour that's throwing me off.The only Mexico that had fluted tubes were Nuovo Mexico and they were only made for 2 years as far as I know. Always nice to know exactly what you have, gives you a better idea on what it needs to take it back to original...

DJR Posted May 14, 2015 Share I've said it before, but I have to say it again: The amazing knowledge and the free and friendly way in which it is shared here on this thread, is great! quintonb and Loose cog 2 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/46935-retro-bicycle-thread/page/198/#findComment-2620507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted May 14, 2015 Share Come to think of it, the only other threads that come close are the "Colnago" and "Campagnolo" threads. Coincidence? I don't think so!

quintonb Posted May 14, 2015 Share It's nice sharing a passion with like minded people. With a lot of these older bikes, dating them if you don't know the history of the bike can at times be tricky. Lots of knowledge here on the hub and collectively the guys figure out quite a lot just from images of bikes. Some good people here.

HeyYou Posted May 23, 2015 Share During my wanderings yesterday I found: Before you ask, no money, going to ride Eroica Britannia and at R18 to £1, I'm flat broke! Look KG96, 57 c2c, with a mixture of Shim 600 TriColour and 105 components. Frame in fair condition, clear coat coming off a bit, but overall good. Probably get it for around R3k. De Rosa Merak medium frame, in good condition. Campag Record 10spd carbon in very good nik. Wheels Mavic Ksyerium (Race, I think). Overall nice. Guy wants 9K, I suggested R5k, as the frame not collectable. He seemed to accept that only the Groupo and wheels were worth much. So I guess offers around R5k. If interested I can send a couple of pics I took. Or, send me an email and I'll put you in touch, I don't want to be in the middle.cdstheboss@yahoo.co.uk Edited May 23, 2015 by HeyYou Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/46935-retro-bicycle-thread/page/198/#findComment-2627400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
