Colnago ESA Mexico?
I bought this frame last year. I was told that it is possibly a Colnago ESA Mexico but I'm still not sure. It is made with 6 fluted Gilco seat tube and down tube. Apparently, a few Pro Mexico ESA's were made with internal cable routing (it has a braze on number holder) but it looks like a Master Piu to me. Any Colnago experts out there? I couldn't find anything on the name and I'm not sure whether to paint it as the yellow and black appear to have been an after thought. Any opinions on when to paint a frame and when to leave it. would be welcomed. Thanks

+1 Try the Road Cycling forum. They can probably help.

Yes, I realise that now. It was an error, sorry. Thanks for your help, though.
