Re-written: Hi 1 Lugnut, I think the actual Colnago designation is 'Nuovo' but that's a very minor point. Personally, I think this is THE model, from that era, to have as it emulates the frame made famous by Beppe Sarroni. The reason I would place it as a 1983 build is the fact that the seat stay caps used on this frame came before the fluted seat stay caps found on the Mexicos of the 1983/4/5 era The bottom bracket is unusual to me but looks like a later version. As verktyg (below) and Colnago states, frame changes may take place without notice. It's a lovely frame.
