Yes it was, I've had a Super (think 1983 vint) that had the crimped top tube and down tube. No chrome on the head tube lugs and had COLNAGO stamped into the rear chain stay.

I think I have photo's of it pre restoration of the frame.

Hi guys,

I'm referring to the earliest crimping (before the Gilco tubing featured on the Master model), which was a single indentation running along each side of the top and down tubes. I thought this was a feature on Mexicos only, but now I'm not sure. Was this crimped tubing also available on Supers?

Thanks,
