Description
Few bicycles have influenced the industry as much as the Colnago Super. At a time when racing bicycles were averagely heavyweight and long, Ernesto Colnago released in 1968 a bicycle which became a legend of the cycling history and the top model of his 1970s' line. Made of Columbus SL steel tubes, with a shorter, stiffer and lighter frame, the Colnago Super was - and actually is - a high-performing bicycle. Since its launch, most racing bicycles have been built with a geometry close to the one of the Super.
This Colnago Super dates back to the mid 1970s and arrived at Steel Vintage Bikes in original condition. We refrained from a complete refurbishment of the frame to leave this decision to the new owner. It still looks great!
Regarding the components, it is equipped with a 1st generation Campagnolo Super Record groupset with pantographed chainring and seat post.
The frame even has cable guides brazed under (sic!) the bottom bracket, which had to be ordered as an extra in the time when the frame was made. The later regular Colnago braze-ons were on top of the bottom bracket shell.
This Colnago Super is the perfect choice for Colnago lovers who are looking for a nice original 1970s model. Suitable for any classic cycling event.
