You know, using the term "Colnago Super Profil" to denote a model name is inaccurate. Heck, the above catalog scans even show there are separate "Profil" and "Super" models. There was also a model in 1982 known as a Profil CX with "ribbed" tubing, top-mounted gear levers and a special fork crown in addition to other details. No literature I've seen from this period - catalog scans included - from Colnago sports any mention of a model known as a "Super Profil". Show me and I'll believe it, but until then I'm not buying it.

I see the moniker all over the internet when I do a search - here's just one self-styled expert who's got a number of things wrong in his post; see if you can figure out what they are: Rabbit Hole

The details of this frame speak for themselves. FFS, I have one and have had it since 1994; the only difference is mine has the original, fully-sloping crown vice the incorrect semi-sloping crown found on the OP's frame. By the time these frames were being sold to the public they all had fully-sloping fork crowns. Even Sarroni's 1982 WC machine already used this updated crown.

Using this erroneous model name just adds to the confusion.
