John/Peter/Group-

That brings up a question for me. I had posted some pics of an unidentified colnago a few weeks back. List opinions leaned heavily on a Super from the early 80's. However, mine has two top cable guides. From what I was told this was just the mark of an early colnago. Could you clarify?
