| webmaster@campyonly.com sends these photos of his 1983 Colnago . . . I purchased this frame in 1982 or 3. It was then black with yellow lettering. I think it's considered a "Mexico" frame. It has the hour record decal from when Eddy Merckx set the record in Mexico City. I transferred Campy NR components from a 1976 Legnano (my first serious road bike). I rode fairly seriously on Okinawa (USMC) in 1984, then the bike was hanging in the garage four about 15 years. I took it down last August and rebuilt it. I rode it while bringing my weight down from 225 to 175. I then treated myself to a new Colnago Master (If you get 2001 color D14N, it's Master, not Master X Light). After I got my new bike, I sent my 83 Super off to Ronny at Airglow Painting ( airglow : summer 2001 ) for the paint job you see in the pictures. I had an accident with my old bike that bent my fork back. It was unfixable so I had to put on a Performance Forte Classic carbon fork. I also replaced the original 52 Campy Chainring with a 52 Sugino. It still rides better than any bike I've ever owned or ridden. And it still draws positive comments wherever I ride it.
