A little about the Super. Few bicycles have influenced the scene as much as the Colnago Super. At a time when racing bicycles were comparably heavy with long wheelbases and flat angles, Ernesto Colnago released a bicycle which would become a legend of cycling history and the top model of his 1970s catalogue – the Super. Made of Columbus SL steel tubes – with a shorter, stiffer and lighter frame – the Colnago Super was designed for high-performance. Since its launch, uncountable racing bicycles have been built with a geometry inspired by the Super. This model is the Super Profil and it has one crimp in the top tube. The down tube is round but some people think this is the Mexico. I date the frame to around 1982. The frame measures 58cm from Centre to top of top tube. 56cm centre to centre top tube. The paint work is in good condition but there are some scrapes in the paint as pictured and some corosion on the chrome, especially around the BB. I would say it is 7/10 overall. There are no dents or bends in the Columbus tubing. The bike comes with period vintage parts, including pantograph stem and seat post. It also has a Super Record Rear Derailleur. I have replaced the original chainset from the groupset with a later Ofmega from another Colnago. It has Record brakes, levers, front mech and hubs. Continental tyres and Mavic rims. I have also taken the time to source NOS yellow cables as pictured. May post but please contact me first for estimate. Any questions please ask. I also have more picture for those interested.
