hi colnago experts,

i am now learning much more from you guys and sorry for the late reply, been talking to everyone at the bike shop and still some disagree on certain points, but i now know then they did blaze on in those days as well. I'm really new and might be wrong and do correct me if i'm wrong. thanks.

as unworthy and picchio special pointed out, the fork lugs are not the same as the 1983 - 5 nuovo mexico.

1) also the top of the bottom bracket shell has the words colnago instead of a clover, does that makes a big difference.

2) the bottom of the BB has the clover but also the words colnago.

so can this still be a Nuovo Mexico? the dropouts say something like 161 or 191 V.

still waiting to solve this mystery. also the way i normal measure a bike roughly is using my fingers on the head tube but somehow this bike my assumption is wrong, not even my full 4 fingers covered the head tube which would normal mean a 54cm , someone how when we took our tape measure out it was a 56cm which is my correct sizing since i know 54 cm normally makes me feel a bit tight.

this bike really rides like a dream, though the shopkeeper and the owner of the colnago tells me the bianchi rides better and i missed my chance to ride it till they get it fixed again. my friend keeps telling me how nice the bianchi is compared to the colnago. this bianchi is english bb and has no bianchi markings on it excpet on the fork dropouts or i don't know what the name it is.

losing sleep over this colnago. such a beauty.

do you guys also think if the fork has been switched? could this be a possibility?



yes the back spacing is 130, currently carrying a 7 speed i think. don't think i measured wrongly here.
