Colnago Super 8 speed, campag athena/chorus
Up for sale is my beloved super. I believe the frame is early 80s as it is not labelled with a specific type of columbus tubing - I have been told that this only started happening in the mid 80s. An educated guess by a user on here tells me it is almost definitely custom drawn SL tubing. The frame is in acceptable condition with a lovely creamy white to pink fade. The previous owner has obviously tried to strip part of the chrome from the fork which has made it slightly less presentable, a perfectionist may want to get this re chromed but it didn't cause me any problems and has minimal surface rust so I lived with it!
Size toptube - 58ctc, seat tube also 58ctc.
spec - the majority of the components are early 90s athena/chorus.
-front and rear derailleurs and brake levers, are Chorus (brake levers possible C-record also worth mentioning they have minimal splits in a few places)
-Cranks, seat post and brakes (monoplanar) are Athena
-BB is a campagnolo specific carbon tifosi. I can throw in a genuine good condition C-record BB for those purists for an extra cost if wanted.
-The bike also has the coveted simplex friction shifters (the campagnolo team even chose these over campag c-rec in the tour de france!)
-The wheels are Campagnolo's famous Shamal model, 16 spokes with an 8 speed cassette. (they make an awesome noise at speed!)
-Saddle is a Selle San Marco Concor reissue, few bumps on the side but otherwise great condition.
-stem and bars are Cinelli criterium (65-44)
Headset is a modern unbranded steel one.

Just give me a shout if you want any specific pictures. The bike is located in Bristol. I can potentially post it if it is bought in the next few days but I will be out of town as of saturday for some time so it will have to be collected from Bristol from then on. I can potentially arrange a courier service however.
Price is £550
Many thanks!
