Hey guys/gals. New to this list but not that new to cycling. Am building up a late 70's/early 80's Colnago Super and have 2 queries.
1. Dating the frame...it has a Super decal on the chain stays and Colnago Clover with the Rainbow running through it. It has one set of water bottle bosses, the under the b/b shell cable guides and recessed brake mounting holes. The rear drops have 'Colnago' stamped into them as well as a #45 Its silver with black decals and does not look to be repainted. It has really thin seat stays as well. I have reviewed past 'dating ' message threads and am pretty confident that its late 70's or early 80's but amn wondering if there is any way to narrow down the dating.
2. I had expected that it would take a 27.2 post but have found that 27.0 fits perfectly. I saw on Sheldon Brown's website that certain 70's Supers Pistas were 27.0, but wasn't aware that any road Super's were 27.0. Lastly does the 27.0 fact define anything else about the frame. (the guy from whom I bought it said that he had been told it may have been a european team given teh color and the thin stays)...
Thanks folks...
Is there a good Colnago informational website out there?
