Colnago Mexico Lightweight Roadbike 1970s

Manufactured to celebrate 1972 Eddy Merckx world hour record, the Colnago Mexico is one of the most iconic bikes which left the legendary factory in Cavenago (Milan, Italy). Slightly different from the Colnago Super, the Mexico model was built with lighter "Columbus KL 4/10 Record" tubes and with chain stays without crimping for tire or chainring clearance. Everything else, including the racing geometry, was shared with the Super model.

This Colnago Mexico dates back to the mid 1970s and still got its original paintwork with all the patina you would expect – a very elegant blue – and original decals. The bike underwent a complete check in our workshop where all Campagnolo Record parts have been serviced to make sure the bike is ready to ride and deliver a unique riding experience. Pantographed parts are the cherry on the top.

Since it is constructed of a light tubing and has the perfect short cranks for such a rather small bike, the complete machine just weighs 8620 grams! All that without being equipped with specifically lightweight parts which could shave a good piece off the already low weight.

Whether to be a starting point for a lightweight project or to take part in Eroica events worldwide, this 1970s Colnago Mexico is the right choice for riders and friends of fine 1970s bikes.

Italian cycling heritage at its finest.
