Early 80's Colnago Nuovo Mexico Value?
How much do you think if I did decide to sell this bike?

$4-600 but it needs some 'presentation' work.
Colnago framesets have a minimum inherent value. Yours appears to be good condition but it has no decals and a full chrome fork. Has it been repainted?
Super Record crankset, Campy SL pedals, NR seatpost, GS brakes, NR derailleurs. Quite the combination of parts.
Seriously....get rid of the granny seat and put a proper racing piece on there. The Concor Profile would work.

Thanks
Just wondering out loud regarding value.
It's been in storage for almost 20 years.
Yes, it was repainted in the late 80's, rather difficult to find parts in this part of the world back then. Isn't the fork a matching piece. Am actually planning on restoring it.
Th old Concor seat I put aside as my grandpa ass needs a bit more padding.
Any suggestions regarding restoring it.

On a restore, it really helps to have a consistent component group, rather than a hodgepodge of various parts. I would pick a group and start hunting parts, accumulating them as I found decent deals.

That's something to think about. I have a new thread in Classic and Vintage forum re How to Restore a Colnago.
Thank you for the input
