1984 Colnago Super. I bought the bike in September 2006 from a friend in Memphis, TN who found it through Craigslist. You can see the "before" pictures here:

The bike was a mess, having been left out in the weather. Many of the original parts were there but the seatpost, wheelset, and jockey wheels were not original. The bike had also been hit in the front end at some point, making slight bulges in the top tube and bottom tube. Surprisingly, there is no rust inside the tubes.

The bike was fully disassembled, all aluminum and chrome parts were polished to a mirror finish and reassembled. All bearings (bottom bracket, headset, and hubs) are in excellent condition.

Frame: Columbus SL tubing Dropouts: Campagnolo short Top Tube: 54 cm ctc Seat Tube: 54 cm ctt

The frame was media blasted, epoxy primer and 2 stage paint with new decals under clear coat. The chrome was cleaned up as best as possible but is thin in spots, particularly on the drive side of the fork.
