Hi everybody.


I found this unusual colnago. At first I thought it was a colnago mexico ESA from the bad photos. On picking up the bike i noticed it was unusual. It has 4 ESA like crimps on the top tube and on the seat tube and 5 master like crimpd on the downtube. It has a nuovo mexico rear end (seat stay with colnago stamp) with a colnago stamp on the chain stay with a small groove. It has a colnago stamp and nr 085 on the dropouts. The bottom bracket is unique in that it has the classic colnago mexico cut out but is double butted by the seat tube which is 1cm thinner than a corresponding Nuovo mezico seat tube. The seat post is around 26.8 also unusual size. the lugs are all correct for colnago but it is missing the clover on the downtube. My gut feeling is that it a very early prototype masters between 6 crimps ESA (top and seat tube 4 crimps) and 4 crimp master (5 crimp downtube).


Any comments appreciated
