from what ive read on here the mexico was top of the line colnago but I dont know more then that :(

Late 70's. Do the brakes have recessed (allen head) mounting or a regular bolt? Is the chainstay bridge a straight piece of tubing or spool shaped?

The Mexico was "top of the line," but only technically. Aside from the first Mexicos and some of the blingy later ones, they were basically the same frame as the Super, but with a minor difference or two and slightly lighter tubing. Colnago only made a few models before the proliferation of the mid-80's, and most of them were of similar quality.

Thanks for the info!

Sry, thats all I got from the guy selling it. He is asking for 500, is that a good deal?

I would pay $500 for that bike. It looks like it's great original condition. Just needs a good cleaning, detailing, mechanical overhaul and few parts. Grab it.

It wouldn't fit me, if it fits you, absolutely. I LOVE that color!

I'd pay $500. Even after you drop the $200 its going to take to fix it it'll still be worth more than you'll have into it.

It's a very good deal - especially with the panto parts thrown in. And the frame and finish look quite good.
