First bike of a lifelong collection:
1984 Professional 57cm
All original, as far as I know, down to the bar tape with the exception of the wheels/tires
Serial 7CP 8485 Z
Bike was found hanging in a restaurant in NC and purchased by a collector/shop owner in 1992? He sold it to me this week.
Question:
There isnt a Columbus sticker on the frame anywhere. However, there is one on the fork that says Forcella Originale Columbus. In the 1984 brochure pic, there is a Columbus sticker located at the top of the seat post. All other stickers are in good to excellent shape and there is no indication that a Columbus sticker was once there.
Thoughts/Info?
I have the almost identical bike, mine is two tone and has Super Record, 8CP 9516Z, it also does not have the Columbus sticker on the frame or fork, at least you have one.
Coincidentally, the previous owner of my bike found it hanging in a restaurant also.
