1975 Colnago Super Pantographa
57x57cm.
All original except wheelset and missing pedals (have period-correct in basement).
I need decals, on the hunt for the elusive 1975 yellow headbadge set (any tips?).

Man, that is sweet. Congrats! 
I really like that rich green, on Italian bikes. It makes me think of the green in Italy's flag, obviously. But I'm stuck on aqua-marine in my mind, for the "best" color for Italian bikes, it makes me think of aqua-ducts. And swimming pools.

Parts are in really good condition. Crank arm with the spider was replacement 172.5 and original was 170 - good thing for the parts bin.

Frame will need some TLC - touch up and decals, but luckily no dents or anything but light surface rust.

Well, I hated to do it but this is now a simple 1975 Colnago Super. The Pantographa is destined for another project.
It turned out nice in any case - rides like a dream.
