Why 1980:
- conical seat stay caps
- straight seat stays
- recessed brake bolt heads
- straight rear fork bridge
Also were the first things which had me on that age, just wanted a more expert view on it.
Whatt makes it more nice that it is actually from 1980, which happens to be my birth year
[MENTION=392454]CliffordK[/MENTION]; Yeah I noiced also that the builder did try to copy the carbon look as good as possible with the silver parts (although some do follow contours and the others are just straigt taped)
Any ideas on the gear shifting levers? with the cutouts?
Now I would like to add some Colnago decals on it, but would be nice to have some tips on which ones are typical for the 1980 bike.
I prefer just to have the white letering / if possible with a silver edge, ...Which i haven't found yet
Any estimation on price? Just out of interest, not planning to sell it.
