Great research work there Velo.

A few showing up on ebay lately, mostly abroad:

Mondia Super Special 1972
MONDIA SPECIAL

MONDIA SUPER

Nearest I can figure on my Special is that it's a 1968-70 model. Thread Here. I was going to get rid of the frame but then decided to keep & fix it up. Not so much a restoration but a functional bike that will replace the 58 cm bike I just sold. I brought it over to Ed Litton's shop the other for a few braze-on's to be added. He also checked the alignment. A day later, he called to say 'your frames' ready'. He had an old Mondia hanging up in the rafters somebody gave him w/ a ton of other frames in for repair. Derosa's, Masis, Pogliaghis, Bianchis & an Eisentraut w/ a gorgeous paint job. Highly recommended!

I'm going to paint mine myself; maybe pearl white or a light metallic green (Kiwi Green Metallic)? Put on a mix of Campy parts...
