[QUOTE=Mackers;23631239]Those are Supers.

The 90s Superissimo had Brain tubing and the more ornate lugs.
Only lasted a few years until it was replaced by the Crystal with its custom top and down tubes.


The 1996 Colnago catalogue featured two Superissimo frames, one made of Brian tubing and the other of Thron tubing, a picture of which I posted above.I have placed a picture from the 1996 Colnago catalogue with a frame made of Brian tubes below.Yes, that's right, frames made from Brain tubes have trident-shaped lugs, while from Thron tubes frames have simple lugs.
