Colnago frame ID needed
Hi!
Picked up this vintage Colnago, but have no solid idea of the model or the year of manufacturing? Mexico? Super? Late 80's?
(More photos @ https://www.flickr.com/photos/sepe84/)
It has been built from a frameset so the parts give no clues. No specs about the tubing either, just a plain Columbus sticker. It has no serial and all the decals are stickers, not painted.
Thanks in advance!

Early 80's. That was the standard Columbus decal used to signify what would later be called SL tubing. I'm not a Colnago expert, but I'd guesstimate 1983. Most of the components fit that era too. I think they called it the Super - it was available with Campy SR stuff.

Could be '83, or maybe a little later. It's certainly no earlier than that with that fork crown.

I raced my Super from 83-85. Decent bikes, I loved my Super. Same color as yours. Used mostly Dura Ace EX.

Around 85 Super. Columbus decal indicates SL or SP, however Colnago built their bikes 58 cm (CTT) with SP so if you measure out that large then it is SP.
